My office is in my home. I'm interested in a machine I can carry with me so my office is anywhere I am. > Recently you said that you were going to get a Mac computer.

My interest in Windows or Apple as a second OS was to a great extent based on what I need that doesn't run on Linux. It turns out my biggest need, to manage the VPS instances, requires Windows <frown>. I need it in a laptop because when I go away for a few days I still want to be able to manage VPS instances. I don't want to spend to buy an Apple laptop and then also Windows software. I probably need to buy a new laptop with Windows 7. But then how do I get it to run on Virtual Box, since the new machines don't come with OS media? Anyone know? If I'm missing any option, please let me know. Thanks.
