Thanks a lot for your info :) !

I want you to know that I am replying to myself on the first post 
summarizing what I already learned researching the subject 
starting with the tips provided by you as well as anyone else 
that replied to my post. Please, if you want and have the time, 
check my last post and let me know anything I got wrong.

I do have a LOT of experience coding on the Windows platform, I 
have no less than 20 years at least, since Windows NT 1.0 
precisely, I do feel at ease with Win32 and COM. The problem 
right now is that, for whatever reasons, I stopped being coding 
Microsoft-centric solutions 5 or-so years ago. I am on archlinux 
right now and have a few boxes running freeBSD and/or 
DragonFlyBSD. I do not plan to go back to Microsoft. Obviously, I 
miss a lot of things; but mainly, SQL-Server, everything 
XML-related which is rock-solid on the Microsoft side, and last 
but not least, PowerShell, which I love by design but regret the 
way that was implemented, specially since the 2.0 release, it 
ended really bloated, but the concept, rocks.

I started to left ship with MicroSoft in the Vista ~ Windows 8 
time frame and left definitely on Windows 9/10. My last boxes 
still run Windows Server 2008 R2 with the newer versions of 
SQL-Server. Ballmer destroyed Microsoft as quality code. The 
userspace since Vista was terrible -and don't get me started on 
the Metro UI.
