I like talking about money.

Since hardware is so cheap another option is use two PCs - one for Linux and 
the other for Windows.  This option makes for a cluttered desk but there's 
one less software running.   One might also argue that buying another PC is 
more efficient use of money than buying software since the PC has more varied 
alternative uses.

Isn't it great to have options?  Monopolies don't think so.  They consider 
options to be inefficient, at least that's what turn of the century 
industrialists thought.

Is it possible to cut/paste between VMWare or Win4Lin and KDE/Gnome?
