| OpenOffice, Gaim, Gimp, XChat are all available on Windows and often have additional features than on their Linux counterparts. Very good stuff, I use it all the time. At work we run Apache and MySQL and Java on the Windows operating system. | ||

I beg to differ. There are no additional options in Windows than in Linux - the code base is the same, it's simply compiled for each platform.

I have been using a few open source applications for windows and have found them very useful and feature rich. I havent yet found them to compromise on the quality or usabilty for which they were developed.
I am definitely very stisfied and relieved with having them around.
