Hi Nightfox,

Yes, excellent java support as well, which makes coding SBBS JSOM stuff a
little bit easier on the eyes than what I was using (notepad.exe!).

I work for a Microsoft partner company, so I hear that. Mostly I can do and run
whatever I want at work, which is great. But "whatever" does not include
installing linux on my work kit! :) :(

It's funny how the whole linux-vs-windows thing goes on, firstly at work, and
secondly when I come home and I'm browsing the internet! At the end of the day
I would like to think I'm well-versed in both OSes, it doesn't have to be one
or the other with no room for middle ground. Unfortunately, that's the way most
enterprise deployments work--they want an all-Microsoft environment for
management.

Personally at home, I've got everything from a Sparc Ultra 10 to Server 2008 R2
machines--and I've found each machine and OS to be good at doing at least one
thing the others weren't... it's all about a mixed bag! At least in my humble
opinion!

Kind regs,
