Try a different operating system
Although a large majority of home PC users will probably eventually be using Windows Vista, the more adventuresome might want to consider other operating systems. Virtualization methods have improved to the point where you can rather easily run a number of different virtual machines on one PC or on an Apple Mac. PC World discusses some possibilities in this article. There isn’t much detail in the article but you might get some ideas for further investigation. The article begins:
Once you were either a Mac person or a Windows user. Or maybe you were a Unix geek. Whichever your poison, you likely had only one operating system in your life. Thanks to the ubiquity of the Intel processor and the hard work of untold legions of software developers, however, those days are over. Now, Apple’s machines can run Windows XP. Windows Vista is available on brand-new computers, but you can also boot the same PC with an Ubuntu Linux disc that you downloaded and burned for free. And if you like Ubuntu, you can install it alongside Windows in a few clicks.
