what i believe about programming is that it is an art .... you want
your tasks done
so doing 2+2=4 is very easy in every language but which system tells
you that what is happening behind the scene .. i mean either math
processor is invoked or not etc ... so every body believes in C
because of its versitality and power ...
so if you are a developer and learning the core concepts of languages
i would suggest that stick to the plate form for which the language is
.. i mean C# then learn .net by residing on windows ... and if you
want to learn c and python or php even ... then come to linux becuase
the are made for each other ... what Microsoft lacks is the openess ..
you find the documentation but you dont know which library is doing
what ... i mean take the example of shell32.dll or winmm.dll or other
.dlls ... they hide from you ... what ive learnet that linux is a best
thing ever there will be for a student ... not unix not solaris not
microsoft .. linux only ... and why becuase of openess ... nothing is
hidden from you .. take the example of /proc folder ... oye can see
you pointers working there :-)... in windows if you are administrator
you still miss to start stop some critical services and in linux if
you are root you can even trun you kernel upside down :-)
so to be very honest ... i was nothing when i used to program windows
.,.. just same old classes ... i was bound by them ... if i want to do
something new ... i would either wait for the specific library or some
other guyz to create that control for me ;-)
so when i came to linux the i realized i was nothing ;-) becuase its
2:41 pm in late night and i still diggin my way and still the tunnel
never ends ....
so what i suggest if you are a student ... try learning the concept
behind every line of code ... what would it be doing in the ram or in
the processor and believe me you wont regret this and would praise
Linus Torvalds and Ubuntu ,.... as i am an ubuntu fan :-p

Linux *is* user friendly. It's just selective about who its friends are.
If Windows is the solution, can we please have the problem back?
