Personally, I would never own a program like VPC. It just gives more money to Microsoft, and it's a smack in Apple's face. It's like people are saying to Apple, "Your OS is great and all, but I still depend on Windows to do my important stuff." If you're a Mac user, then use Mac OS and be happy we have such a great system. If you want to run Windows on a Mac, I really don't consider you a true Mac user.

And sometimes you just need to run Windows, lets face it's a Window's world.

Isn't there a linux program for windows compatibility now. I don't know its capabilities, but I'm pretty sure it exists, just like the mac-on-linux stuff out there. How legal are those things. I can't imagine MS letting them go if they weren't. I think Lindows uses a windows compatability program, but I could be wrong.

Actually, this was know as Open32. S.M.A.R.T. is a technology that warns the user of impending hard drive failure.Originally posted by bousozoku
However, IBM did this with S.M.A.R.T. for OS/2 years ago and apparently, not many companies took advantage of the opportunity.

Anyone try yet to run Lindows in VirtualPC? That probably would be very funny.
