True yeah, there are soem DOS emulators for running under Linux, but I've not got that far as yet...! Come to think of it, I haven't got any DOS games, or indeed DOS apps any more anyway. Ah, I should try and find my old copy of Space Hulk to see if I can get that running...
If it's games you're worried about though, many of the bigger games are (eventually) getting ported to Linux (where they often tend to run faster than the windows versions - the windows programs I've emulate under Linux tend to run faster too). The whole thing gives you not only more control over utterly everything, but it does it more reliably (I repeat: Windows XP has NOTHING on the stability of Linux) but using far, far less system resources as well.
So thankfully it looks like I won't be one of the people in the queue for Longhorn, or whatever they end up calling the next draconian incarnation of XP. Goodbye windows, it was nice knowing you. Actually, no it wasn't. "F**k off and die"
