the main reason i don't like it (dual booting) is because that other OS is not
busy doing something worth while... if i have to have two or more OSes
installed, they're all going to be running and performing worth while tasks...
at one time there were over 12 physical machines all running in this server
room... today, most of them are running in virtual machines... i cannot say
that the quantity of power used has dropped, though... the systems strong
enough to run multiple virtual machines all require larger power supplies
(500+W) that those being replaced (250W to 350W)...
