I don&#x27;t have much feelings towards companies and technology. I use ones as I see fit. Windows has, since 7, been very useful to me. Even 8 (8.1 which I&#x27;m on right now). Windows has been my primary OS since 7. I augment it with Total Commander and Babun (cygwin) and that&#x27;s it. Everything is great, except Babun which could use some more work (or I don&#x27;t know how to use it). I also use Redhat on other workstation (due to graphics software dictating it) and it&#x27;s not as usable on desktop as Windows and OSX are. That&#x27;s not a surprise though. I also use OSX on my macbook air, because that&#x27;s the best laptop I could&#x27;ve got for what I needed (lightweight, moderately powerful, battery life). I carry around Android Nexus 7 tablet as well, so new Surface Book looks like a good deal to me in order to get rid of macbook air&#x2F;nexus 7 combo. Microsoft research also does some cool stuff in graphics which I&#x27;ve used (through their papers). I use Word and Excel all the time as well, along with Google Docs. those are just some random thoughts as I perceive them from my POV now.
