something more stable in a minute, but the sad part is that Windoze is
everywhere, so we have to teach our students to use it and the apps that
run on it, because that's what they will likely find in the real world..
So are you preparing your students for 1 or 2 years out, or are you
preparing them for a lifetime? If you're just preparing them for the
first few years of their career, keep teaching them windows.
However, if you want to give them the advantage over others that will
allow them to be more competitive, make more money and therefore get more
girls (and boys) start teaching them on Linux boxes.
