I am not running a online business so I have not used the leading Open Source online shop e-commerce solution that is available for free

That's what I'd assume too.\n\nIT departments have standards, and they want to make sure what's developed runs anywhere (even though you know that's not the case here), is maintainable by anyone, is common, etc...\n\nA good arguement FOR using 5.0 is that if there is some functionality/new methods/etc. that CONSIDERABLY improve performance, reduce programming effort, or reduce maintenance in YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, then I would talk to my boss about it.\n\nYou see, standards DON'T change unless there is a good reason to change them.  Saving a lot of money is certainly a reason to consider.\n\nBut, if there is NOT a compelling reason to use 5.0, then I agree with their position.

gnu is the best. Also does c\n\nA really easy to use windows version is mingw (minimalist GNU for Windows). \nIf you download dev-cpp ( a pleasant development IDE), you can have it install mingw at the same time.\nhttp://wwww.bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp.html

It really depends on your needs and wants. Each has it's strengths and each is better in it's own way. \n\nSo, in my opinion:\n\nMac OS X \nPros: The best interface, design, and integration between programs. Fun to use. Secure. Best looking computers. Best rated customer satisfaction. Regular OS overhauls and updates. A very bright future. \nCons: More expensive, some niche programs not compatible. \n\nWindows XP\nPros: The most common OS and therefore the self-proclaimed industry "standard", meaning a lot of niche programs and support. It is what most businesses use, so it might be what you're used to at work. The most programs--though not necessarily the best programs.\nCons: Security constantly compromised. Getting old. Boring. \n\nLinux\nPros: Many versions for your needs. It's free. It's open source. Gaining momentum--so more and more programs are available. \nCons: Generally more complicated to use and maintain. Many programs not available. \n\nSo there is my biased opinion. I admit, I've only had limited use of Linux, but I am a long time Windows user and more recently I switched to Mac OS which is my favorite of the three.\n\nP.S. bzellinger, have you ever really had a chance to use Mac OS X? I give credit to Windows for what it is. But if this is really a comparison then you have to have used them and at least give some reasons. Dang...this is turning into a forum!

Personally, I prefer Ubuntu. It's easy to use and very stable, for servers or for the desktop. I think there's even a version specific for servers, but I'm not sure on that.

I have Tiger--OS-X.4 and I love it. I have used both Mac and Windows computers and I prefer Mac. After all, there are millions of viruses out their for the PC, and only about 6 for a Mac.

Those should already be the defaults, so you\nshouldn't have to do anything.\n\nBy the way, that OS is somewhere in the ballpark\nof 15 years old.  I'm somewhat surprised to be\nseeing questions about it :-)  It might be worth\npointing out that the current release of Solaris\nas well as the compilers (including Fortran) are\navailable for free if you wish to upgrade.

Mac User Here :)\n\nI prefer the Mac OS in general because it is more stable and more efficient.  The last thing you want is a frozen computer or re-start in the middle of a project.  \n\nPrice is comparable now (if you compare apples-to-apples); granted, they sell PCs for cheaper, but the specifications on those are also significantly less.  \n\nThe new Intel Macs can now run both Mac OS and Windows.  That is what I currently use, so IF in the design world, some of your clients or partners "must" use Windows, your Mac can boot both operating systems.  I use the Mac OS almost 90% of the time except the occasional need to boot into Windows\n\n\nRecommended hardware (minimal):\n- Mac: I would recommend at least a 2.0Ghz Core 2 Duo processor\n- PC: 3.0Ghz Intel processor or equivalent\n- As large of a hard drive as you can get (80GB miminum)\n- I would say at least 1GB of memory (RAM), and again, the more the better\n\nSoftware: Cannot beat Photoshop and the rest of Adobe's Creative Suite.  However, Adobe is planning to release CS3 in Spring 2007, and so the current CS2 may not be worth it unles you really need it.

You want to use it without a license? David Swofford won't be too happy about it. \nBesides, these beta versions are still not debugged.

I don't feel that any of the default layouts are best. It really depends on what you're doing. Personally, I prefer the tools, timeline, actions, properties, and library. But that's just me.

I use both and have used Firefox since its beta versions. Frankly I think Opera is faster, but I mainly use Firefox because of the number of extensions and themes that are available.
