The second paragraph above does not confirm the first. It appears thatI really don't know where the impression is coming from that there is no need or no market for scientific applications under Windows. In the electronic design automation (EDA) world e.g. there has been a strong shift towards Windows over the last 10 years. Looking at the laptops of my students (electronic engineering, Germany), I usually see Windows or MacOS with Linux being the exception. Most of my students also seem to prefer a cracked Matlab license over an Octave installation. Don't get me wrong, I'm not encouraging that behaviour, it's just an observation. different Universities have different experiences. Here at Stanford nearly all student and staff laptops are Macs. The desktop systems are either Macs or Linux. What I see in industrial EDA around here is a shift away from Windows to Linux. This is, of course, just one observation. Michael |
