imagine a life where you have a dual boot Mac, a Symbian phone, a Pocket PC or Palm-based PDA. there are only 24 hours in a day: 8 of which you spend sleeping, 1 hour getting up, taking a bath, preparing for work. 2 hours cumulative for the 3 meals. and another 2 more for commuting/driving/traveling.

11 hours na lang. bosses and companies and customers dont care how much you know whether you are a Guru of OS/X, Windows, Linux, Unix, Mainframe, Symbian and some proprietary OS combined. they care more if you can finish the task at the shortest possible time.

just find a computer system that can help you do this. after all a computer is just a tool.
dual booting isn't that complicated. with regards to laptops, i use a macbook for everything except for mission-critical windows exclusive programs (medical stat analysis software in my case). just have to remember the crippled xp is only an add-on feature and not a full fledged OS for the hardware.

can't imagine myself relying solely on OSX though (and having a mac desktop for that matter). the relative obscurity of the mac that contributed to its virtual malware immunity is also the reason why i need MS OS - i don't have everything i need (software and hardware-wise) in macs.

why i didn't opt for a windows based lappy? presentation-wise, apple's keynote just manages to wow the audiences better.
