A little over a year ago, I stopped using Linux as my primary desktop
due to the fact that a number of programs we were using were Windows
dependent. Despite
getting coLinux running,
I've never been completely satisfied with the setup. I missed being able to
paste with my middle-mouse button, and I was constantly having character
encoding issues pasting back and forth between PuTTY and windows apps,
couldn't access mail easily between my coLinux and Windows partitions, and
overall felt that I was losing out on some productivity by not having a
native linux environment as my primary OS.
Last week, we had an infrastructure change at work, and I basically realized
that my Windows + coLinux setup was going to get in the way of productivity
-- and that, at this point, there were now Windows applications tying me to
that OS. So, I decided it was time to go back to Linux.
