Out of curiousity, what are you doing in Java that needs Windows?
Ahh yes...for work I need to run a java based app that primarily has a
Windows client. I have to run it in Windows for work although I tried
Wine and it failed miserably. I tried Qemu as well and that's when the
windows java crapped out and couldn't find a way to get it working as an
option. I've read a little about a virtualbox port to FreeBSD which
would open the possibility for OpenBSD, but seems it hasn't come to
fruition. Unfortunately I'm not a coder beyond shell and a little perl
so I can't help much, otherwise I'd shut up and code very willingly.
That's my dilemna...I've considered buying a mac which does run
virtualbox but not sure if that's really a positive move from Linux. The
fact that OS X upgrades and patches generally don't break basic
functionality is a motivating factor though. My intention is not to talk
trash about Linux or OS X though...I want to see if anyone has done what
I desire and can help me come back to OpenBSD as a desktop.

That's exactly my problem. I have to use this Linux POS to get the job done
and I feel bad about it. I've loved OpenBSD for years but it can't do what I
need in a PC for my daily driver....I'm pissed because I can't contribute to
helping the issue either so I should probably just shut up and do what I
need to do. Eh...it works for now...maybe it'll change in the future.
