I don't know which one to choose!

There are a few of us possibly considering dual-booting maybe Windows XP and one of the Linux variants for fun. Or maybe you're still trying to find a way to boot Windows and Mac OSX on the same computer.

Well, there is one person who is far ahead of us in terms of sheer numbers. Saikee, a member of the JustLinux forums, is boasting 137 operating systems on the same machine. The numbers include 3 versions of DOS (oldie but a goodie apparently), 5 versions of Windows (including 3.11!!!), and 145 different versions of Linux (dayum thats a lot).







I'm pretty sure you would be waiting for a 2 hour boot-up time while your machine finds all the operating systems it can boot up, but just to say you have all those OS's to choose from I'm sure would be fun.

The WOW starts when?

Windows Vista has been a tough sell to most who knew it was actually released recently, so soccer moms with a new Dell are not included. Vista shipped with some broken promises of functionality, compatability, and Ultimate edition features (Texas Hold’em???).

Now we have another semi-horror story, this time coming from the now former PC Mag editor-in-chief Jim Louderback who mentions his frustrations in his good-bye letter. He states...

“I could go on and on about the lack of drivers, the bizarre wake-up rituals, the strange and nonreproducible system quirks, and more. But I won't bore you with the details. The upshot is that even after nine months, Vista just ain't cutting it.”

Sure this is just one opinion, but it has been shared by far too many. In the end, the decision is unanimous, Microsoft better start fixing Vista and deliviering on the promise of that WOW factor, or else maybe more and more will move to other OS’s, like the one Jim mentioned… Linux.
