[Coco] Coco Digest, Vol 98, Issue 14

Looks like the only choice may be a virtual machine with Windows loaded. 
Not a perfect solution, but if you have a three or four core processor 
turning one core completely over to the VM won't slow things down much. 
Since I use a VM for viewing instant Netflix only I turn half my quad 
core processor over and that's plenty fast for streaming video, but I 
could devote three cores to the VM since when it's running I'm mainly 
using the VM. I like this solution better than a dual boot.
