Re: Ruby on Linux & Windows



The shell is the biggest problem I have with Windows. Good Network IO like
KDE has would be nice to. Perhaps that's just over the next Windows Vista.
They'll never do the shell right though.

Just wondering, why do you use Windows XP for devel? Do you use any apps
that hold you to that platform?
