Come move over to windows. I have. I&#x27;m not unhappy.<p>1. The Dev environment is basically superior to everyone else&#x27;s now.<p>2. Microsoft is very open about the stats and rules they collect. Apple does many of the same things (don&#x27;t believe me? Proxy your apple machine and use it for a day. Start typing in spotlight, too) and it&#x27;s straightforward to disable them.<p>3. The hardware is nicer. Especially now that the rev0 bugs are mostly worked out.<p>4. The ecosystem is more open by design. You can bring in an iPhone or Android Phone without trouble. Heck, many of the interesting bits even run on OSX.<p>5. There is an MIT license over most of the core dev tools (some other projects use the Apache license) Microsoft has released, and their libraries and APIs. This means that unlike Oracle&#x27;s java, the Mono project has a great deal of future proofing against these absurd lawsuits.
