The last day of 2009 will also be the last day of me using Microsoft Windows. This is a quick farewell to an operating system I’ve been using for 19 years. Over time it became worse and worse. Today I would describe Windows as vulnerable, slow and over-engineered. And no, Windows 7 doesn’t do it for me either.
For about a year the only reason for me to use Windows is iTunes and iPod/iPhone. Most of my other tasks could get done easily by a Mac or a free Linux distribution. Tomorrow I’m going to bury Windows and use the free disk space for my existing Ubuntu installation. For development and office work I’m switching over to Ubuntu, multimedia and iPhone stuff will be done on a Mac.
