<<A vast vast vast majority (>90%) of people don't want to tolerate the hassle, time, and inconvenience of using two OSes on the same machine. >> That's true if you talk about the general population. However, in corporate environments that's another matter. I've seen up to 30 percent using dual boot only to maintian ties with legacy software. Most commoni seems to be DOS/NT and Win3.11/NT setups. Very rarely do I see Win95/NT setups because few corporations are standardizing on Win95. And there are very few legacy apps of any importance for them to keep. -Bill_H

A vast vast vast majority (>90%) of people don't want to tolerate the hassle, time, and inconvenience of using two OSes on the same machine. From Mac the Knife: "Of course, the Microsoft-Apple relationship doesn't preclude either artiste from pursuing side projects with other talented session men. Consider IBM's rumored contributions to the Mach kernel that will form the core of Mac OS X: According to some pimply members of the Knife's fan club, the new version of the microkernel will feature the ability to run multiple OSes, a trick IBM hammered out in early demo recordings involving OS/2 and Windows. Dig it!" rhet0ric
