It’s not bad! There are a lot of good reasons to work in such a way but what a unix fan can do in that environment?

It’s so useful to define shell aliases for common tasks, define one o more crontab jobs for scheduled tasks, search files are so easily using grep command with regular expression. Virtual desktops are also powerful tools and keystroke launchers like Quicksilver or Spotlight in MacOS X are amazing,… I love keyboard shortcuts!

I’m going to write articles about open source and privative software that I was testing in Windows to help me to be more productive as I am in GNU/LiNUX & MacOS X.

Note: Adding this task to my next action list

Mr. Solís: Ryan! En mi laptop tengo instalado Windows 7!

Ryan: Funciona?

Mr. Solís: Por supuesto que funciona, viene con mejoras en consumo de memoria y con otras características increibles!.

Ryan: Je je, dejame darle un vistazo

Mr. Solís: UN MOMENTO!, UN MOMENTO! QUE SE ME ESTA COLGANDO

Ryan: Plop!
