For some reason, many FReepers equate anything from Apple == Liberal. I guess the company probably *is* liberal, but so is Microsoft, so ... *shrug* I dunno, what other choice is there? Red Star Linux? *BSD?
BTW I run Win XP, 7, OS X, Solaris, and Debian Linux on my various machines. Different platforms do different things well. I’m sure this will be the case with the iPad and any other tablets that are developed if it takes off.
Actually I run most of these via Parallels, on my Core i7 iMac. Only requires one machine.
