well the point that I was trying to say was that, true most of us maybe
spend 95% of our waking hours in linux, but window$ will always happily
sit on our computer. There is always the "what if's" and "maybe i
might" insecurities. I would love to see myself buying a desktop PC or
a laptop one day without making me buy a M$ home or pro for the "what
if's", thus saving me a lot of money. Wndws will always be an excess
baggage in case we need it. That is why I think an open-source emulator
is important to get rid of this "insecurity".
I think it is safe to say that most Linux user no matter what dist they
are using are running dual -boot. But most windows users arent at all,
at all and at all. If so, what does this tell us?
