Windows developed Powershell as a response to developers installing linux or cygwin (free unix that runs under windows) in order to be able to manipulate text and files easily. There used to be a windows toolset that was a port of basic unix tools.

The reason is that every OS has good and bad points. You choose what you want to live with.

Those windows add-ons are there to get past windows deficiencies. The java virtual machine is a classic example. Linux Gnome and UNIX Xwindows, etc., behave very much like MS windows and are later add-ons in the same sense - in this case getting past user interface issues in UNIX. UNIX did not have MS-like windowing software to start with.

And these are just the user interface issues. And functionality.

There are a lot of very important issues with Windows and security for example. My company interfaces with the internet only via UNIX/Apache Tomcat, a firewall, NAT, etc. because putting a Windows 2003 server out there was not a safe idea. UNIX is cheaper and probably easier to harden.

Windows was and is primarily a single user OS, UNIX is multiuser. This gives rise to features and problems as well.

This whole discussion is analogous to: which is a better motorcar: Mercedes-Benz or BMW? It boils down to personal opinion and experience. There are other threads like this - what is you favorite <fill in the blank>. There really isn't much content in threads like this one. And they tend to start flame wars.

MBK_WORK_LIB(1)                                              MBK ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES                                             MBK_WORK_LIB(1)

NAME
MBK_WORK_LIB - define the mbk working directory SYNOPSYS
c-shell running setenv MBK_WORK_LIB unix path ORIGIN
This software belongs to the ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Universite Pierre et Marie CURIE, in Paris, France. Web : http://asim.lip6.fr/recherche/alliance/ E-mail : alliance-users@asim.lip6.fr DESCRIPTION
MBK_WORK_LIB sets the directory where are saved the results of an invocation of mbk or genlib. This directory is considered to be, from an mbk point of view, read and write. Also, when a file is searched for reading, the first directory to be looked at is the MBK_WORK_LIB, and then the one defined in MBK_CATA_LIB(1). The unix path argument must be a actually accessible path on your host machine. ERRORS
"mbk_fopen : can't open file 'unix_path/file.xx'" This occurs when either the unix path is irrelevent, or when the file doesn't exist if it is open for reading, or when you don't have the right on the file or directory while trying to write it. EXAMPLE
setenv MBK_WORK_LIB ~fred/crechan/uom SEE ALSO
mbk(3), genlib(1), MBK_CATA_LIB(1). BUG REPORT
This tool is under development at the ASIM department of the LIP6 laboratory. We need your feedback to improve documentation and tools. ASIM
/LIP6 October 1, 1997 MBK_WORK_LIB(1)
