I've heard about that upgrade...something I don't think I'd want to have 
to try on my own.

Exactly.  A friend of mine, who is still working on porting a DOS app to 
Linux, just had to move several of his systems over to Linux to run this 
program under DOSemu since DOSemu is more robust than DOSbox for things 
other than gaming and running simple DOS programs.  He had a time with 
it at first, never having tried Linux before, but he got the hang of it.  
He's now looking at upgrading a few of his machines with W8 and I wished 
him luck!

I will say that Windows runs great under a VM though.  I have W7P here 
in a VM that I use on occasion, but I'd love to stuff more than 4GB RAM 
in this machine to allow Windows to expand like spray foam. :D

Later,
Sean
