The issue is support. There is no way a company would put two os's on the same pc. The support would be a nightmare. The users would also revolt at having to reboot.

You don't dual boot a PC with LINUX and Windows. Your thinking of dual boot with Windows products only ie. Win 98/Win NT. LINUX will be a stand alone OS with Windows type applications running on top,,thus the importance of Mainsoft/CRYS. The reason LINUX is getting so much attention is that it is much more robust than Windows OS's and easier to use than UNIX os's. Think of it this way: when MSDOS came out it was good but did not dominate until windows applications were put on the desktop ie. "Windows". Mainsoft will write "Windows" for LINUX. Without windows LINUX is a command line OS,,with windows it is user friendly. Mainsoft/CRYS has the biggest advantage to make a killing with LINUX out of anyone we have seen so far--by far--except for REDHAT/VALINUX themselfs. It is that BIG. Cray
