I stopped reading when he said he prefers virtualdub on windows. Clearly he hasn’t reasearched the commericial/paid apps.
Running a PC shouldn't require maintaining an active balance on one's credit card.
So perhaps he is limiting his comparison to the lower end of what everyone can afford, rather than spending $600 on a piece of software.
Win7 has offered nothing of value to the end-user in my opinion.
Really? I guess he hasn't really used windows 7 beyond listening to other linux users complaints. Application virtualization is pretty cool feature, improved UI, but the biggest feature is the security.
