For me I'm just looking for a platform to start Java
development. I think it will be fun to do it on a new OS.
Might even pay in productivity.

If I were starting Java development, I would start with Linux.

Eventhough MSFT has told me several times, I had to learn the hard way. Win 95 is not to be used for development. Use NT or don't use Windows. I blew a lot of money and time being hardheaded.
