When I first built my system, I had intended to run Unix. However, as a software developer and consultant, I have had to stay somewhat up to date with Windows development, even though my last 3 years up until December have been working in the Digital OSF/1 Alpha Compiler Group where I am on a short leave of absence due to IRS and Digital rules regarding Software Contractors.
