My theory with Unix is that it is so hard to install anything that once you get it running, no one screws with the box, so Unix servers work really well. Less software equals less problems.
Right on.

He also mentions the ingenuity of Sun:

So as long as I can work on Windows and let someone else figure out how to install the finished applications on Unix, I'm happy. If you stop and think about it, that's the genius behind Sun pushing Java so hard: all of a sudden, they had a ton(ne) of programmers building applications for their overpriced servers.
That's how all Java programmers think and feel.
