   1) I build it, as nearly all my computers for over 20 years.   
   2) Started with Windows.   
   3) For business used CorelDraw back then. Only pro graphics software for   
   Windows. [could not do #1 with a Mac]   
   4) Been using Linux for servers @ 18 years ago   
   5) Been using Linux on all other systems for 12 years   
   6) Still need CorelDraw for business and no Linux port   
   7) Inkscape is good, but missing essential features that CD has, but do   
   use Inkscape to fix CD's bad SVG export.   
   8) When Windows becomes subscription only I'll have to find a way to   
   make Inkscape work for everything, or find some better alternative.
