Hey Joseph. I made a decision back in 1993 or so (at the release of Windows 3.0) to never use Windows, and I have pretty much stuck with it. At the time I ran a NeXT Cube (which I still own), and after that I ran Linux desktops until I switched to Mac OS X for my desktop systems. I have never owned a Windows desktop PC, and other than having to use one for my brief stint of DoD work, my rule is still pretty much in place. I do occasionally have to access a Windows Server via RDC, but that’s only to run a browser in the data center to access a rack server BMC.
Welcome, I know you will love being MS-free!
