My company builds medical ultrasound systems. Traditionally we were a 
UNIX shop and everyone had a Sparc station. But after a buyout and 
several reorgs, we're now a Windows-only shop trying to do embedded 
UNIX development. Hah!

I am so much more productive using FreeBSD+KDE rather than Windows for 
embedded UNIX development that it's not even funny. We still have our 
old Sun Ultra10s, and simply exporting my DISPLAY lets me use 
FrameMaker, Clearcase and ClearQuest under FreeBSD. OpenOffice handles 
most MSOffice documents just fine. Korganizer keeps me organized. The 
only thing I need Windows for is setting up meetings with Outlook 
Calendar. But since I'm not a manager, I don't have to do that but once 
a month or so. If I could figure out a way to convince IT to turn on 
Outlook Web Access without letting them know what I want it for, I 
could dump Windows completely.
