It does seem to negate most, if not all, the benefits of Linux.
That it does. If I had my way, I'd buy the mac, install linux, then virtualbox OSX. No windows though. Hubby thinks it's weird, but I avoid it like the plague. Haven't touched it on the personal comp in well over a year now, only messed with it at work and on his machine. And I make sure to laugh sardonically every time he gets malware or worms.
You could always try using JUST linux for a while. You'd be amazed how many of the dependencies we have built on windows or OSX are a non issue with a few skips past a good forum.
And does anyone else think that the 1% share linux now has is maybe just preinstalled units? If so, M$ will never loose much share, they install their crap on everything. It's like VD... but scarier.
