My primary machine is a MacBook Pro. There are no Windows machines in my house, nor will there ever be.

Everything I have runs dual-boot Windows and Ubuntu Linux. One older laptop actually dual-boots XP since 7 doesn't work. The Dell Mini only runs Ubuntu.
I primarily use Ubuntu, as does the wife. Kids normally go into Windows so they can play games. Otherwise they don't care.

Eclipse, on the other hand, rocks. I can't see why you'd want to code in any other environment (unless you were doing .NET, that is).
Just now noticed this. I switched from Eclipse on Ubuntu to Geany and I'm never going back. Lightning fast compared to eclipse, and very similar feature set.

This will be a first for me, but I think I'm going to buy Windows 8 as soon as it's available. People are bitching so much about the new interface that I think I'll enjoy using it. I like Unity and people still bitch about that. I don't do anything too taxing on my home computers, anyhow, and Win7 is complaining about duplicate keys.

I'll likely buy it for my media center pc. Mainly for smartglass. I might wait a bit to see how those reviews shake out, but it will be nice having a smarter tablet control than remotedroid.
