for me, the novelty of this wore off real fast.
a simulation of three computers running three
different operating systems is no easier to
use than three actual computers running three
different operating systems (though it is admittedly
easier to carry around). i found that the os-os
boundaries were really frustrating to keep hopping
across, with distinct file systems, desktops, snarf
buffers, etc. attached to each one instead of a
unified whole.
