I use a dual-boot system for a couple of reasons which, perhaps, other/.'s may help with:
1) Me:Engineering:RSLogix, AutoCAD, Solidworks
2) MyWife:Can WINE,etc. help her play hoylegames.sierra.com's WONPlay-enabled games?
She's addicted to that site.
Any help from the community at large?
The last company I dealt with had a problem:
Out of 14 Husky injection molding machines, only 3 HMIs were connecting and staying connected, while the rest dropped off the network like flies in a matter of days.
No previous networking knowledge....
IBM Redbook on TCP/IP protocol + Ethereal sitting on the main hub = Crash course in network topology considerations and server behaviour modification through the OEM...Complete success!
Ethereal was easy to use, but powerful and no distracting eye-candy...Start with it, and stay with it.

Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing the reaction on people's faces when the first one comes porpoising along :-)
