hmm, where to start...
dual boots, well, linux and windows dual boots dont' work all that well, unless you have a huge partitioned HD. so, in that case, i rebuilt an old PC to run linux, so i could learn it. i managed to get samba to work, but then forgot every command cause i'm a mornon. so, now i have a nice stable file server. the computer has been running for several weeks now, without a reboot. quite amazing, cause i usually had to reboot my windows PC at least once a day.
about the OS/2 / windows dual boot, that's an interesting idea, i may try to get a copy of OS/2, although my dad will probably laugh at me (he thinks that OS/2 is outdated, which, it sort of is)...
as to all the games, i wasn't aware that warcraft III came out for both mac and pc (i haven't gotten it). if macs start getting the larger share of computer games, i would gladly switch over to macs, and relearn the OS. that's another problem. many people have been 'brought up' on windows. i struggled with linux, even in the GUI, to learn where everything is. i still struggle with linux, because it's still completely new. the fact that each GUI is different doesn't help.
all in all, i'd love to see microsoft shot down, and for IBM and Apple to come back as the top players. their OS's are much better, and they have much longer lives. also, with the rumors i've heard about windows pallidan, well, i'm not too thrilled with microsoft.
