Re: 32 or 64 some questions

Yeah - I see that quite often. However, I refuse categorically to run
Windows natively on my hardware, so only VMware-Player comes into mind.
If Microsoft really wants to forbid me to Run windows on my Machine (I
have the License Sticker on the bottom of my notebook), they can have it
- but they'll have to pay me the full price for windows back (Which is
actually legal in Germany).

BTW - this freedom of choice on what and how I run my OS - is why I love
the linux way.

Of course, what the user does with his licensed copy of Windows is his own
business, not mine. I just thought I'd mention it. ;-)
