PC parts (even for laptops) are standardized and it's fast, cheap and easy to upgrade the RAM and HD and DVD drive - or even the CPU - and keep one running for another 2 years. Often you don't even need a screwdriver. I don't even know how to get inside the new iMacs.<BR/><BR/>As for Wine, sadly, it is slow when it works, and it often it doesn't (it won't run Photoshop CS2 which is why I keep Windows around). I find that virtual machines and dual boot are still the best bet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516432143173419194.post-2132234104463417092007-12-06T10:05:00.000-05:002007-12-06T10:05:00.000-05:00I've been too busy right now to mess with it.

I'm running it on my Mac using parallels which means I can use application on the mac while running programs in windows or linux as a separate program window. Its really cool, but running win XP just to do a simple analysis was slowing down the whole computer majorly since it uses one of my dual-core processors. So I'm looking into boot camp which allows you to boot up in whatever operating system you have installed on your computer.Kevin Zelniohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14192385384151149566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516432143173419194.post-18586734876475570292007-12-04T22:17:00.000-05:002007-12-04T22:17:00.000-05:00Glad you got a chance to try Ubuntu.
