It doesnt I have to keep a windows partition because I need access to
Symantec Pc Anywhere.  I know that I could use vnc or other such products
but my company installs PC anywhere on customer machines and so I must be
able to connect to them.

There are some apps I use that have not crossed the divide to linux,
specifically a little program I use called Digi Guide that provides me
with Television Listings.

Also I am a visual basic .net developer currently and I can not as yet
run the visual studio dot net on linux.

For all these reasons I keep a windows partition at home and also use
outlook as a mail reader when I am in windows.  I use it not just for
mail but for keeping track of my life/

As for top posting being the preserve of windows clients, its highly
interesting.  I wrote this mail in SquirrelMail and it wanted to top post
by default.

Well thats my two pennth
