I tell ya, you've seen nothing until you've seen your regular Windows OS
running in a window on a Linux machine. I was flabbergasted the first
time I used VMWare. It saw my Windows drive and configuration was a
breeze, told it how much memory to use and which peripherals, bang!
Windows complete desktop, all settings correct in a sizable window on my
Linux desktop. It goes through the boot process and everything, just
like booting up a regular computer except that it's a virtual computer
made of software.
But I'm not here to proselytize, folks, back to ponding! Or virii, or
whatever it is today. ;-]

I won't engage the MS sucks, Linux is great topic, as I think they are both
great, and both have a place. I will say however, that if we put Linux on
90% of the desktops in the world, we'd be reading about the latest virus to
hit linux. Any system can be compromised. The statistics are just a bit
skewed because we have so many winders systems out there.
