    Will the Acer one run Windows 98 on the one that comes with Linux, The reason Im asking is that I have an old copy of 98 and dont want to buy a copy of XP just to run the few old windows programs that I would like to run. Id prefer tohavethesolid state version dueto its rugged properties as I will be using it in areas were the HD version might be more prone to damage.
    PS one of the programs I want to run wont run under XP even in copatibility mode.
    Yours Chris

    thought about wine? it emulates windows when running on linux.
    it also allows you to choose the version of windows you wish to emulate, so you can select and older version than XP.
    head over to the wine AppsDB and see if ur apps are listed as compatable.
