For discussion of my quasi-review as noted on FA:OSX

Wonderful piece, Paul. Good depth and helpful analysis. I've been struggling with the issue of whether to switch my life from OS X to Lindows or Linux or FreeBSD and your review gave me lots more to think about.

BTW, there are a couple of virtual desktop tools out for OS X. Check out this discussion: http://www.macobserver.com/columns/macgadget/2003/20030113.shtml

I installed one of them for a while, lost it during a system upgrade or some such nonsense, and haven't re-installed it. But I may now. I like to have a separate desktop for each "role" I play during any given day.

Thanks for sharing.

(BTW, don't know what tool you're using for your blog but check out Web Crossing (http://www.webcrossing.com). It has built-in discussion board functionality, comments, trackback, the whole nine. You can see it at my blog, http://www.eclecticity.com.)
