Really good read cheers Tim.
Sadly a lot of companies have this problem; don't re-factor, replace.
Oracle and MS are two shining examples of this.
Somebody asked my opinion recently on buying a laptop for full-time
development, and he gave a really good example of why he doesn't want
Windows. So it was just a Macbook VS Dell/Lenovo debate!
His reason for not settling on windows was how one adds a directory to the
PATH environment variable. The only method available to you in Windows
hasn't changed since the mid-90's! As seen here:

And it probably wont ever change. This tiny, un-sizable dialog box is all
you have. You must copy and paste the string into and editor and paste it
back. Linux/Unix, you just extend on PATH in your shell config.
