True. The excellence of the Unix platform, and all that has been derived 
or copied from it, shows from the fact that it is still as relevant as 
it was at its inception: 40 years ago.

40 years! There's not an awful lot of technology of 40 years old that we 
still use today. One could think of the combustion engine, or the 
analogue telephone, and both are on their way out.

Me, I'm a Solaris fan. Having said that, my OS of choice at home is 
Windows, right now Windows 7. Exceptionally stable, easy to use, tons of 
applications and lots of little things that make your life behind a 
computer just a little bit easier.

I would never run a serious server on Windows, though, just as I 
wouldn't run Solaris, Linux or FreeBSD at home. It's just too much trouble.
