Scot Hacker is the webmaster of The BeOS Tip Server, and author of The BeOS
Bible, the definitive guide to using BeOS. Hacker has written for publications
including Byte.com, Wired, PC Magazine, Windows Sources, ZDNet, Tripod, and
the
Utne Reader. In this excellent piece on the M$ anti-trust case, he writes:

"In other words, it wasn't convenient for the U.S. government to get to the
meat
of the matter. It would have been too much of a hassle to address Microsoft's
anticompetitive behavior in its purest form."

Overall, this is an informative and well written article, but i have to
disagree
on one point:

"So here we are in 2001, and guess what? It's still not possible to purchase a
dual-boot Win/Linux machine."

Altho he is correct in stating that the *large* vendors are not shipping
anything like this, there are a few smaller vendors can do this for you (and
have done so for years), such as <www.buypogo.com>.
