Yeah, that's exactly how I feel. I mean, I used to think that 
I need/want to use just Linux. But that has changed. I mean,
sometimes, you just can't do that because of work/environment,
etc.

I've been teaching server-side Java at IT school, but they 
primarily use Windows at school, so that's how I prepare
for the classes (I mean, for Java, it doesn't really matter
what platform it is. But too much options for students
may confuse them from time to time).

Even now, I use Outlook 2000 to read/write e-mails cuz
I'm too lazy to work on ppp program for Air H" card. If I 
had time, I would spend on something of higher priority..

So as Mr. Zuco says, you could just have different OS's
for different stuffs..  There are always pros and cons in 
anything.
