What the f.

Read: also, possibly in order to perform yet another bad under-the-belt 
trick to the very idea of multi-OS client machines if they choose to.

I mean, they can even afford to buy this server virtualizer thing in 
order to incorporate it into Windows and to scrap the whole multi-OS 
deskstop stuff.

At Kemper DOC, we translated their Virtual PC software (V6.0) into 
French a few months ago (via a Californian translation agency) and I was 
impressed by this product.

Well, do we need such repeated "warnings" in order to cooperate more 
closely on free software projects?
