Now wait a minute... you're saying I can put a Mac Operating System (OS) on a cheap Acer netbook from Wallyland for $200 and this badboy will run like a greased pig hit by lightning? And HSLD has one??? Come on!
Operating systems from Linux and perhaps Apple-Mac can be run on HPs and other normally Windows-driven PCs. In my own line of work, we use HP workstations running Linux rather than Windows because our particular program code can be run much easier on Linux due to its open-source nature and debugging is much easier with Linux. I seriously doubt Vagabond is writing her own code to run her coffee shop, however.
