I did not know about this, sounds really cool. I will try it. My
feelings toward Windows has never been very positive, especially
suffering the ordeal of typing up a descent MS thesis under MS Word in
1995. But like many people I come from a DOS background, and I have met
Unix much later in my university life, and I was never able to own one
(unfortunately). Finally there is Linux, but with no descent debugger!
Let us face it, MS Visual C/C++/Fortran IDE has a fabulous debugger that
is graphical... Anyway, the first thing I did when I got this computer
is to get it to boot both WinXP and linux-kernel-2.4.23-xfs-acpi.

I agree that PCL-CVS is indispensible for software development, and I
actively use it. Good point here, thanks.
