O
On the Bridge!
Having been in this newsgroup since its birth, there is constant fighting
between linux and windows users. But I thought its time for me to put a
final end to all this, single-handedly! Can I do it? Can I tranform
Frank and Alias into best buddies? Lets see what I can do if a smack this
info in your brains!
Why fight when you can have BOTH running SEAMLESSLY on the same desktop???
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE you may ask?????
Well it is using various techniques... YES this is a geeks dream, to have
ultimate flexibility and use
whatever OS he wants at the SAME time!
1st method: Get ANDLINUX http://andlinux.org/ read that site to get a drift
of what this is and see
a screencap that is worth 1000 words:

Linux and windows apps running side by side!
2nd method: Install KDE 4.0 for WINDOWS.. YES believe it or not, the NEW KDE
4.0 runs NATIVELY on windows... all you have to do is install the KDE apps
and that's it!
See Links:
Good Guide with screenshots
http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2008/01/install-kde-4-on-windows.html
General Info http://download.cegit.de/kde-windows/installer/
Download KDE 4 for windows: http://download.cegit.de/kde-windows/installer/
(warning beta still)
3rth Method: VirtualBox Seamless mode!
Yes virtual box is an open source virtual machine with something extra! When
installed on a Linux platform
you can run a windows virtual machine SEAMLESSLY (with 2 taskbars one for
linux and one for windows WOW!) on the linux desktop and have all apps on
the same desktop!
Of course this means you will have Linux as your base OS and install Windows
inside the virtual machine.

I hope I have been able to intrigue you all a bit... and let me say
something more here.
Its not about what OS is best. If you really like computers you should like
all kinds of operating systems and computers
as long as they are good. I personally use everything I can get my hands on,
and that gives me universal understanding
about the nature of computers. So basically there is no real debate. Its all
up to YOU. What can YOU do better given
all the technology available? That's the question you must ask yourself....
and use everything that is in your disposal.
