Curtis did programming work on Windows, Office and research at Microsoft
and never actually used Linux, he says, until he quit his job in late
2004. The ensuing years have made him a Linux fanatic, and he is
convinced that free, open-source software is technically superior.
I, too, was once exclusively Windows. No more. I echo that last quoted
sentence.
