I give. I’ve tried for years to climb out of my complete reliance on Microsoft products to make a living. Can’t do it. I give up. I’m settling in here for the long haul.
The closest I’ve come to busting out in the last few months was by putting jQuery (a javascript library) on a production server here*. (In a big company, such a little thing can represent quite a coup.) And the biggest excitement of the week has been the installation of Visual Studio 2008 on my work machine. And the sad thing is, I really am excited by this 3 year old technology. Now I’ll end up using all sorts of proprietary MS stuff in my code, things like LINQ (ask Robert) and maybe XAML.
And deeper I sink.
*And of course, even jQuery is now distributed with Visual Studio.
