Ending the Fight between linux and windows users FOREVER!
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: http://andlinux.sourceforge.net/screenshots/screenshot.png
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.
