I was actually thinking about the virtualization comment from Tharin. I use XP mainly because of gaming. I have Ubuntu on my laptop and much prefer it for your daily office/internet/stuff usage but of course gaming sucks. And I would really prefer to use OSX for my video work because the tools are just easier to use and interface better.
Has anyone built a virtualization box? Meaning, it should be possible to have 3 OS images (XP, Linux, OSX) and just moving between the three as you see fit. Now that I could see needing a quadcore and about 4GB of RAM. Aside from I/O becoming your chokepoint, anything else I'm not thinking about that would prevent such a setup from running? -- Brian Weeden On 11/7/07, Anthony Q.
