Try Linux. Free, and you get full source. No tricks. Quicker,
easier, more reliable, and the life is up to you.

Thats what all the linux guys say. Just try and get something
productive out of them whilst working them to a deadline. Good luck.

Oh? Try installing Ubuntu. Then wipe it out and install XP. Good
luck. I gather you have had success getting Microsoft to release
source code or make modifications. I also gather that the EULA is
totally acceptable to you and your customers. Hint: Vista is
worse.
