   I disagree, some things work better in some environments, others work better in   
   different environments.  One big thing for me is a fairly complex installation   
   of Thunderbird definitely works better in a Linux environment, which can be   
   kept clean and simple, without various antimalware products competing for the   
   CPU's attention, every time mail is scanned.  Thunderbird and Windows also   
   experience some odd focus changes that aren't commanded by the click of a   
   mouse.  No such issues on Linux.   
      
   On the other side, a lot of ham radio software still requires a Windoes OS.    
   SOme will run under WINE, but not all of them will work that way.

   Hmm, never had that issue at least, not yet.
