I made the decision to jump ship from Microsoft developer products about five years ago. I could already see the writing on the wall. I swapped the remaining proprietary tools I was using on Windows XP over to open source alternatives and jumped from VB6 and .NET over to Python. Then, when it was time to replace my PC, I installed Ubuntu 8.10 instead of Vista. Never looked back.
