The Linux kernel was invented as a derivative of Minix in 1990-1991, therefore you cannot have been a Linux user for 23 years.

I am in the aviation field, and like most elements of support in my world, we are woefully behind then times. Translation: many number crunching software items for performance calculations are still written for Windows machines. Now, I can bring one laptop to work to do all my desired tasks and leave the frustration of my Dell at home!

I have been a linux user for 23 some odd years now, but when my wife got herself a MAC I instantly fell in love with it. Having said that, I still found the need to have a windows boot because of the many software tools that comes only in windows. So the idea of MAC with windows dual boot is very attractive.

Ultimate goal is get linux in as well, then I will really be in my elements.

Cheers.

Here's my reasons for running Windows XP on a Mac:
<ol>
<li>Use the very cool MacBook Pro hardware with bright LCD screen and the patent-pending MagSafe(tm) magnetic power connector.</li>
<li>Run two OSes on the same laptop.</li>
<li>Run the full spectrum of softwares on Mac OS and on Windows XP.</li>
<li>Because you can!</li>
</ol>

Hhm, why would anyone want to run XP on Mac? I thought their OSX was supposed to be a much better OS...
