nope. and if they are not you are stuck. Many people have to run XP when they bough Vista - for example my GPS (walk) drivers don't work under vista and wont ever work (no maker web site)... and the gps is only one year old.
Dual booting or virtual machines are also a required evil for many users. Take me for instance I have an active interest in astronomy and telescopes. Not well supported under linux plenty of oss and other types available under windows. Windows oss is a rapidly growing area.
yes and dualbooting is also require because windows is so unstable and unsecure I wont use it for web or mail, so I have to run Linux :-)) however I have better run windows on virtualbox with linux host and windows guest than the other way round. (I use windows for video and games :-)) jdd -- Jean-Daniel Dodin Président du CULTe www.culte.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
