You missed something. About a half hour away from NYC is highly affordable living and easy transportation in and out of the city (unless you PREFER getting up at 4 in the morning to make sure you can drive to work and get there by 7). All the benefits of working in NYC, none of the hassles of getting mugged daily.
Which is to say nothing about the cable and DSL for 40 bucks/month.

"Windows doesn't have this distinction between mechanism and policy, so if I decide that I don't like the way the title-bar buttons work, I'm SOL:" I happen to be one of the lowly dual-booters, the people who can't decide between micros~1 and linux. I decided a long time ago that I didn't like the way the windows GUI behaved, and I changed it. It's fast coming to the point where you don't have to be imprisoned by the taskbar to get work done. This is a prime example.
