I've used Linux exclusively at home since about 1996. I was dual-booting Windows
95 with Linux. The Windows 95 CD belonged to my employers and as it wasn't being
used at work they gave me permission to use it at home. Then we switched to
Windows 95 at work so I had to uninstall it from my home PC.

Linux. I've compiled postmodernist under Cygwin and I've made a start with
compiling it with MSVC++, but that project will have to wait until after WCCC.

I have to use Windows NT 4 at work. I'm not terribly happy with it, but it's the
standard where I work.
