Ask HN: Do you use windows for development?

Sadly yes. Too many apps still in old .net pre-core versions.

Yes. I develop on both Ubuntu and Windows.

I mostly do Node.js and Android development so I can work exclusively in Linux but some of my customers install my software on Windows. Always good to see whether everything works on Windows.

Noooo!

Dev desktop runs Ubuntu, MacBook Pro with OS X when on the road. Deploy everything as WebApps on hosted servers/services on both AWS and Google Cloud.

Before cloud hosting, I used to roll-in servers running HP-UX and AIX into clients' data centers. My support costs were a tiny fraction of those of my competitors using Windows server, etc.

Yes. I can iterate quickly. If the end product is embedded, I port it to Linux once I’ve got the algorithms working.
