Yes, I knew that was coming.  I already have several 
dual boot computers for DOS and Linix.  Unfortunately 
I have to do Window$ in order to use my GPS units.
Also I have to do Windows to use my hand-held printer.  
They don't make any linux drivers for it.

If only they would make linux drivers for everything, 
then there would be absolutely no excuse for anyone doing 
Window$.
