In my journey to buying and moving to the Surface Book, I just stumbled upon this announcement from March.
I have a MSDN subscription, so will I have access to this preview as well?
Is it good enough to do Ruby development on Windows directly? I had been thinking that would be in a VM, but maybe not. Maybe Atom (or even Visual Studio) will do the trick.
The other shift that makes the transition to Windows easier for a developer like me is that more and more of my development ends up in the cloud anyway. Push to git and the CI runs the tests. I could probably make the last jump to using containers and local testing would not only be easy, but also more accurate representation of the production system.
I am actually getting kind of excited to ditch my MBP.
