Hi Bill,
Strawberry also offers a portable version, where everything is contained within a specific directory tree and nothing is changed to your system.
In other words, you can install it and test it without having to decide immediately whether you really want to switch.
Personally, when working on Windows (i.e. only at home, where I really need a Windows box because I am using some proprietary software applications that only exist on Windows and Mac, but not on Linux)), I prefer using Cygwin (because I prefer a Unix-like environment with a real shell and Unix commands), but I have both ActiveState and Strawberry installed on my PC, Strawberry is really better in terms of module management, IMHO.
Anyway, the bottom line is that, with portable Strawberry, you can test it without having to decide to change immediately.

Strawberry is really better in terms of module management, IMHO. The only difference between the two is brand name and licensing terms and what comes downloaded/preloaded

Are you just kidding or are you trolling?
You probably have not used both recently.
OK, I've just made a rare exception to my personal policy of usually not responding to this type of Anonymous Monk comments, I will not comment further.
