    CeBIT 2007 : HEXUS CeBIT Sofa - Day 4

    James and Nick find an unexpected guest on their sofa - and it's a different sofa, too, as we broadcast live from Corsair's stand at CeBIT 2007. Well, live unless you're watching in 2008.

    I'm ready. I've created a wall of old Windows boxes round my house as ballast.

    I'm loving the Linux bashing, and I say that as somebody with a Linux laptop and a Linux Media Centre (neither of which are dual boot with Windows).

    However, for actually getting some work done... Windows XP X64 tbh.

    i haven't used windows for actual work (programming, word processing, video eding, blah blah blah) for *years*

    but it's the best option for games right now

    Work in the sense that when I've finished working I can fire up the CnC 3 demo without having to reboot or move seats

    Also, when Adobe write a decent version of Flash Player for Linux... I'll be happier.

    Still, you should be happy that 66% of my computers run Linux.

    This would be so much more difficult with Linux. For a start, Linux doesn't so often come in a box. I know what you mean about Linux not crashing, though - it's hard to make an OS crash when you're not running anything particularly stressful or important on it.
