You could, you know, look in the comments for the Video and all.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You know what? I could! =O

So does anyone have experience with MS Virtual Server 2005?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

So what are they using in this to switch between Windows and Linux?

It's not really easy to tell, but in the comments, someone says that it's probably MS Virtual Server 2005. I think it's free now (in order to
compete with what VMWare has done,) but I don't know for sure.

edit: e;fb

How ya doing, buddy?

Well, not that you want OS X, but I'm not sure what you mean about it being emulated. If I'm getting the wrong idea, I apologize. But OS X's Terminal is a real bash environment, just like any Terminal in Linux is tapping into the command-line interface that lives "below" whatever GUI you're running. And I'm sure it could be global-hotkeyed just like any other OS X function.

Also, OS X is completely keyboard accessible, you just have to turn on full keyboard access in Keyboard prefs. It's not quite the same as Windows' method (you have to remember a couple "shortcuts" to jump to things like the menu bar or dock) but it works.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Any terminal run in a graphical environment is, technically speaking, a terminal emulator. Even a regular old xterm. I've seen Mac OS X run in a text-only environment, but I can't remember how you boot into it that way.

And yeah, I've used OS X's keyboard access setting. Still not quite what I mean by fully accessible though. Can you move or resize windows with the keyboard? I was also having some trouble getting certain programs to "zoom" from the keyboard.

FELIPE NO

OS X's text-only mode is called "single user." You start it up this way by holding Cmd+s on the keyboard as soon as you turn on the machine.

As for being able to move/resize windows with the keyboard... I have no idea. Then again, I can't ever imagine a situation where using the keyboard to resize windows would be more efficient than a mouse. I can understand keyboard shortcuts for speed and whatnot... but honestly.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
