vmware is a great program, i use it to test alot of stuff i write in linux that i want to be portable.. but as far as coding i do most all of it from linux. and if i were writing somthing windows specific such as directx i would imagine that i would just code in straight windows.. VMware is nice, but if you want to see the real performance of 3d apps you are writing, you should not have that VMware layer in there..
Thanks for that, you're raising my hopes of ever working in Linux full-time.


and there is also the fact that i was never one to get satisfaction from the linux login.. all my appreciation for linux came after i logged in and actually used it..
Thats exactly my point.
