Ubuntu on Windows

I remember seeing an ad for an PowerBook (oh, this first one one: http://xaharts.org/funny/Apple_Mac_OS_X_Unix_ad.html ) back in 2002 (apparently) and thinking: "Wow, now I want one." Outstanding pitch. And for the last decade and a half so have a huge number busy engineers, scientists and most recently and profoundly, web developers. Microsoft is making a very smart move here, even if it is exceedingly late.

I remember similar thoughts when the first MacBook (x86) came out in early 2006, as I was just starting university, and also thinking "Hmm, this is all probably going to be huge, and I should find out how to buy Apple stock with this ~$1200 I have... oh, no, I'll buy a MacBook for myself."

Ten years later, I'm totally bored with Apple and OS X. Especially after trying to use Xcode and the iOS Development Cloud Platform or whatever. So yeah, I'd probably switch to Microsoft Linux.

And I could totally play Counter-Strike and Diablo II while pausing from coding bash scripts? Omg!
