   I've heard about that upgrade...something I don't think I'd want to have    
   to try on my own.

   Exactly.  A friend of mine, who is still working on porting a DOS app to    
   Linux, just had to move several of his systems over to Linux to run this    
   program under DOSemu since DOSemu is more robust than DOSbox for things    
   other than gaming and running simple DOS programs.  He had a time with    
   it at first, never having tried Linux before, but he got the hang of it.     
   He's now looking at upgrading a few of his machines with W8 and I wished    
   him luck!   
      
   I will say that Windows runs great under a VM though.  I have W7P here    
   in a VM that I use on occasion, but I'd love to stuff more than 4GB RAM    
   in this machine to allow Windows to expand like spray foam. :D

   ... Windows Error 014: Nonexistent error.  This cannot really be happening.
