Re: This is a great idea

[quote]And to the previous posters who say just get linux and skip the Windows OS...well as soon as you quit whining to the message boards and start whining to the larger gaming companinies that may just happen....So many of you think that business pushes the OS industry... how wrong you are[/quote]

Yeah. I agree with you. I will never swith to Linux BECAUSE I'm not a big fan of Linux. And screaming silence, you're just an ignorant poster. If you have nothing to say about Microsoft Windows, please refrain from posting in the forums INSTEAD of telling Windows users to skip Windows and moving to Linux. Why? Because if Windows users are not a big fan of Linux (like me), then Windows users can stick with Windows and don't have to move into Linux! The reason? Try to run a couple of games that uses DirectX! And try to install DirectX in Linux! Well, if you can't play games that use DirectX and can't install DirectX in your Linux machine, then there you go! DirectX only work with Microsoft Windows 98, ME, 2000, and XP, including the next version of Windows, Longhorn.

If, however, a user want to listen to music in the Internet or watch videos that uses Windows Media format, then users will have to stay with Windows. Since Microsoft had made Windows Media Player work with Mac OS X, Mac users can experience Windows Media content from Microsoft and the others that use the Windows Media format.

Anyway, I'd going pretty much off-topic in here since this article is about running multiple operator systems in only one computer. But I'd heard from other users that Mac OS will not run in VirtualPC.
