Hmm.  Has your shop considered using VMware?  I run it at work (Windows
under Linux) and it's amazing.  It improves Windows's stability no end
(since most things can be done under Linux); you can use NFS to mount
the simulated C: drive as a Linux file system; if Windows does crash,
it's trivial to reboot it while all else goes on....

...and best of all, you can *minimize Windows* when it is doing something
silly, and carry on with life!

To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all.  There
are no words left to express his staggerment, since Men changed the language
that they learned of elves in the days when all the world was wonderful.
