I tend to differ with you Hall. As Linux gains in popularity, more
and more presently "windows only" software packages will be ported
over. In 2 or three years, I think anyone who wants to escape the
"evil empire will be able to do so easily.
Contrary to my signature, There is a Win98 box sitting on the floor
next to my desk. The only time I fire it up is for a high end CAD
program that a former employer supplied my with. If I wanted to spend
some big bucks, I could buy a comparable CAD app for Linux (Pro/E
Wildfire) but I don't have the cash to spare at this time.
Probably within a year, there will be an open source parametric CAD
application I check the as yet unnamed project's progress from time
to time) and I will be able to turn the 98 box into an entertainment
server.
