True dat. Though there are a couple of language weirdnesses in C# that make some types of things easier to code in Java, I think C# is preferable and probably outperforms on speed and general usefulness because of the OS tie-ins to Windows. I've got some budding interest in working in DirectX and XNA with C#, I'm trying to find some free time to work on that.

I've been going back to my Unix roots too while I've been supporting the old system... and I'm finding that I didn't miss the crappy man pages, obscure commands, and archaic editors. Running SQL from the command line bites my ass compared to SQL Server Management Studio or whatever the heck it's called.
