This is a bit off subject, so lets not start a public discussion...but this software is so cool, I just have to give it a plug. It is called VMWare (www.vmware.com ) and provides a "virtual Pentium" to run "guest" operating systems. What this means is your primary OS is WinNT or Linux. That is the "Host" OS. You then create a virtual machine with VMWare, load the new OS (say Win98) in it. Now you have a fully featured and running version of Win98 in a window of your Linux System. This virtual machine has access to your CD, Network (controllable) and up to 2 gig of disk. You can use WinNT or various Linux flavors for the Guest Operating System. An a whole list of supported guest systems. For developers, support folks, or Linux folks who must use MS Excel, this is much better than a multi-boot manager. Because you can have ALL of the active at ONE time! (presuming you have the disk & ram available). Check it out. For some of us, it is worth the $99 home or $299 commercial versions (same binary's, different license). If they where a public company, I'd be calling my broker right now.
