I have dual boot on my Laptop with Ubuntu. I mainly like the package manager, just click an application and it will download and install automatically.

A few weeks ago i talked about it with a teacher of mine who is a very good programmer. I asked why he didn't want to consider programming for Linux. He told me he likes Linux, but a common problem with linux is that many applications only work for a certain distro. He had a point there...(even while most applications have sources available)
