Hot Multi-OS Switching — Why Isn't It Everywhere?
First time accepted submitter recrudescence writes "Slashdot readers might remember the Touchbook announcement from Always Innovating stirring up a lot of excitement in the Slashdot community back in 2009 (almost a year before the iPad was announced and essentially killed this off, and way before the Asus Transformer, which is essentially the same idea). The company's new product seems to support Hot multi-OS switching, supposedly with a minimal performance penalty. What seems strange to me is, why haven't other developers jumped in on this already? Macs, for instance, made a huge campaign of their products' new ability to finally support Microsoft Windows, yet (disregarding emulation options) they're still limited to booting to a single working system at any time."
He's right. It is stupid. Only systems administrators and nerds want to do that kind of thing.
Your translation is totally wrong. I don't want or need to use Linux or Mac OS or any other OS apart from Windows, because Windows does everything I need it to do, has the largest availability of software, hardware, hardware support (drivers) and games. I would only suffer with Linux if I was skint, or if in my naivete I was trying to make a futile and stupid anti-capitalist point.
