oh, yeah. there is only intel binaries for vmware. and yes, thats the "funny" thing,
that you can basically run any intel compatible OS in the vm. like linux within linux.
2 different distributions or something. unfortunately recursion stops at level 1. ;/
furthermore of course you wouldnt use it to do dsp.? ;]
and what would you want to use windoze for except testsurfing your latest pages for
IE4 compatibility. ;))

no beos on g3 is a point.
but also, al the highend pc-laptops i think are pricewise much the same as any better g3, so ... hm.
also, i have little direct experience with linuxppc, but i assume its running pretty good from what i "see", so for
example pd running on it ..
