How about the giants whose shoulders these men stood on? Descartes and Bacon. Though not 'scientists', I think the joint fathers of the scientific method's roots deserve some credit.
The way windows handles almost everything makes it non-portable across systems. Unlike our friend linux, is simply makes the (reasonable)assumption that the hardware it was installed on is the hardware it will be on permanently(plug n play excluded). A month or two ago I was at an IBM lab in New York and one of the guys had created a portable windows install on his ipod. The catch was first using Damn Small Linux to boot, and then making a virtual machine for windows to boot into. That way the windows install saw the same' 'machine' every time, and worked without a hitch.
I tried enlightenment and it simply didn't work. I'd bet that makes it more like windows than a look and feel makes KDE.
As a point of character, I really do feel bad about fanning the flames.
I was in the same boat as you, liking the things that dreams are made of rather than the things that jobs are made of. My choices were to either keep learning or start teaching, though yours may be different.

How can a 'synthetic compound' be a 'natural drug'?
