Bootcamp/VMware/Parallels is a big selling point for those that need to run a couple of Windows only programs. It's easier to switch to a Mac if you know you can use stuff you already have on the new platform if you need to. Without the common platform, we'd be stuck with SoftPC and the like. Remember how crappy that was?

I'll second that. I just retired my G4 for a new iMac. I bought the G4 back in October 2000. It ran 10.5, did email and basic web stuff fine, and took days to encode mp4s. I even sold it for $320!
President Skroob: I don't know about that beaming stuff. Is it safe? Cmdr. Zircon: Oh, yes. Snotty beamed me twice last night. It was wonderful. President Skroob: Alright, I'll take a shot at it. What the Hell, it works on Star Trek.
The 'job' folder contains several categories of jobs or projects, such as vehicles, engines, pumps, etc.
Inside those are folders with the project name. Inside each project folder is a series of folders for different data types, such as solidworks, reports, proposals, documentation images, etc.
File naming:
File naming should be consistent, and I always start my own files with the date with year first, because I do not trust meta-data one single iota. I have had dates wiped out when a backup system kept a backup, but did not preserve the file creation / modify date on copy.
After that it is the thing, then the version.
So 09-06-10_widget_v01.sldprt
version two should be exactly the same, with the number iterated up. There should never be a document named something_FINAL because you always end up with FINAL_FINAL_FINAL etc.:)
Because of the way SolidWorks looks for and uses referenced files, having the version number as part of the filename is BAD. How on earth do you update your assemblies when youve got to replace all the files you modify all the time? Either they dont get updated or you spend a lot of time with SW Explorer's Replace command.
If you ever move to a PDM system, and you should- even the free Workgroup one that's part of SW Office Pro, it will treat foo_v01.sldprt and foo_v02.sldprt as different files altogether, not versions. In Workgroup PDM, the version is a custom property; in Enterprise PDM its in sql. We have "job folders" similar to yours, with Docs (MS office, etc), Drawings (all CAD), Photos, Correspondence, etc. We moved the solidworks stuff out to workgroup pdm. It also takes care of write access issues when a few people are working on the same project- people can take "ownership" of a file they would like to change and check in a new version.
Give it a shot- you can set up a workgroup vault on your local machine and play with the settings. After working with it for a while youll wonder how you did without it.
I would believe it, and also believe that you wouldnt hear much about it, because people are used to Windows blowing up on them. 100,000 is a small percentage, and in the last month did you or anyone you know say "Meh, i had to reinstall windows yesterday"? Even if you did, would you have thought about it on a grand scale for more than 2 seconds?

Then why isn't your text red-shifted?
2 things:
1. Roddenberry's is not a Mac Plus. "M0001" is the Mac 128 model number.
2. All 128's are "M0001". The serial part is just "F4200NU"
no, the bigger question is:
Where are all the fart apps?
Client versions of Win32 will enable PAE to get the NX bit, but the HAL will block access above 4GB.
