[QUOTE="wmprice1240, post: 878055, member: 99551"] If your going to primarily be coding/programming in Java, Windows is not necessary as Java runs on Linux, Mac, Windows and is not platform specific. C/C++ are not platform specific either. The only time your would really do C/C++ on Windows anymore (over C#) is if you doing low level graphics/ device driver work. Most jobs in the software industry today are either Java or .NET (more specifically Java EE and .NET). If you really do need to do programming on Windows then native is your best bet. However, a majority of the languages you mentioned will run on other platforms, the only real 'Windows' part would be if you got into Web based development with .NET. Java EE of course is cross platform. [/QUOTE]
