In linux you can safely use another window to connect to the chess server and watch your engine play and also chat with other programmers or whomever. In windows (NT excluded as it seems to work fine here) you can easily burn so much CPU time in simple tasks like typing into a console window that you hurt your program. I'd suggest NT for windows users, or Linux for those (such as myself) that prefer unix.
