Re: TomaHawk selling dual-boot-ability as OS feature ???

They are selling the fact that it is (or at least seems to be) incredably easy to set up dual boot on, looks like it's a 1-click job.  I know setting up dual boot isn't particularly hard, but I've been doing it for almost a decade.  When I first tried, I found it scary.  Think of their target audience, it's actually quite reasonable.

And I second the thread title being annoying.

Re: TomaHawk selling dual-boot-ability as OS feature ???

dual booting was the most annoying thing as I had a unsupported network card and keep rebooting to get help online. But that's off-topic.

Sometimes the most simplest thing can be of marketing value for beginners or even companies or local authorities with limited [read poor] consulting.

Windows is renowned for its drivers?!

In the eyes of "plug cheap/crap usb device. put cd. (almost) works." crowd, yes.

"Renowned" doesn't always have to be a good thing though..  It just means "famous".  Just like "Stagg" are reowned for making guitars.  They suck.
