Tomahawk dual boot makes more sense

If somebody wants Windows, can buy a computer with Windows preinstalled almost half the price of Apple and as a bonus can enjoy all kind of viruses, worms, adware, spyware, etc.

If you invest in an Apple machine, why buy Windows? Is the printer not compatible with MacOSX? Is the digital camera cannot be used with MacOSX? Or simply wants play games?

I personally use Tomahawk Desktop (http://www.tomahawkcomputers.com/), a multimedia Linux, on an inexpensive yet powerful laptop with Windows XP dual boot. Its pretty easy set up dual boot with Tomahawk Desktop, you don't have to meddle with firmware!

I don't need drivers to connect my camera to the Tomahawk Desktop, Instead of Photoshop, I use Gimp to touch up my photos, Instead of Illustrator, I use Inkscape to create my artworks, Instead of PageMaker, I use Scibus to create my PDF brochures. When I need to print my photos or brochures, boot to Windows and just print on those professional printers. If I was on either Apple or Windows, I would have to buy and buy and buy all software I need. Now for the savings I made, I can buy another computer. Once printer drivers available to Tomahawk Desktop, I don't have to boot to Windows.

Now days I'm learning how to use Blender, a 3D modeling and rendering tool similar to Maya included in the Tomahawk Desktop. You know how much I can save if I get this to work.
