I've recently switched my work desktop to FreeBSD 6. Virtually everything = I=20 could to before I can now do as well as or better. I found an old Pentium = 3=20 machine to run Windows, and when I need it I can VNC in. (If you use WinXP= I=20 think you can use rdektop which is more than fast enough for occasional use= ). You could also consider vmware, which is like qemu but faster, and only $18= 9=20 (cheaper than a second PC if you don't have one spare) Having said all this, I haven't booted my Windows machine today.
