Yeah, or run both in parallel in virtual machines. But I was offering
my best advice to those who, for whatever reason of their own and
whatever you or I might say, have decided to develop on the MSWin
platform.
p.s the old linux system under the desk isn't a great deal of help
when one's whiling away^W^W productively applying the time on a laptop
during one's travels.
OT:
Speaking of laptops: when I've been at conferences recently, it's been
interesting to have a little watch at what other folks are doing on
their laptops during the conference. There seem to be three main
camps:
1. watching the conference's streaming media on the web (kind-of
strange to sit in a conference session, and then watch the streaming
media that were intended for those who couldn't get there in person).
2. windows users: processing their email via their VPN
3. linux users: building kernels
