First: they cant run. I've had problems with this bug and windows stops 
loading for good.... only doing some weird things (including swapping 
disks around) I was able to install windows and test3..
Second: what if the "essential software" is really a game? Most of the 
good games dont run in linux , so we have to have either two computers 
or dual-boot systems... And I have to admit that I'm addicted to games , 
so I'll remove windows only when all games start running in linux.. Also 
, there are lots of applications which only run in windows and have no 
similar apps in linux..

Now , I have to agree that this is not the right place to discuss if 
microsoft or redhat is wrong... Something is broke and we need to find 
out what is causing this, no matter whose fault is it... Some people 
will always need dual-boot , no matter if it is to play a game or to run 
a application which has no similar in the linux world...  So , now I'm 
back to work... time to search for a place to dl FC2 and start messing 
arround trying to be bit by this bug again...
