..cause my thesis research has potentially very, very interesting algorithm for investment people... ..of course University lawers can screw it up, I signed up something.. .. but I can do it like a year later.. so no prior art for them..
When I use my NT/Linux machine I either have a dozen of Emacs/term/browser/snavigator/lyx/blah-blah on my multiple KDE desktops, when I am coding or a dozen of Illustrator/Powerpoint/browser/Sc.workplace/Eudora mail/etc. when I am writing about it. At the same time my MC simulation are running in the background. Both Linux and NT handle it rather well (I take care of my NT - I need it, Linux just runs by itself) it switch smoothly between application, without annoying delays and loss of productivity.
USER Interface is not just smooth and consistent widget set (and I would give Java Metal a notch above MacOS look). It is also an ability to USE (as in USER) the system smoothly and consistently.
Other part: I have sensitive eyes - that's why I browse the Web using IE under NT. X windows system fonts are terrible and almost impossible to make a single working configuration under Netscape. I also prefer some particular color scheme and font size. With Steve Jobs awful ego - he designs system that are not customizable - try to change Look & Feel under NeXT - Jobs knows what it is better for you (yeah, right). I hardly could use NeXT at all for longer than 15 min in a row - Jobs favoritte UI appearance - physically hurt my eyes.
That's not what I would call a good UI overall. Mac people behave like a bunch of brainwashed idiots.
Think different - use system you can customize, do not lick Jobs's ass..
..that Windows 2000 include a special technology that by displaying a curtain pattern on a screen affect your brain in such a way as to make you sterile? That was invented by one Russian biophysicist in late 80's for mid-control warfare and aquired by MS for $50 and a case of beer! Seriously.

College here is too tough?
Try 5.5 years in Russia and 5 more in
Ph.D. here..
;((
But it did not cost me a penny.

..yeah, when my friends from Institute for Nuclear Physics have not seen salaries since June...
