Fundamentally, I agree as well.  But this may solve a real problem for 
me.

On the boat, I have to run Windoze, because (a) that's where the good 
navigation software and Ham radio email software runs, and (b) I can't 
convince my wife to use a Mac.  But when we're in port (dock or 
anchor), and I want to have one 802.11 network connection to shore and 
another on the boat for out laptops, it would be much easier to manage 
with a Unix system routing between them.  Yes, I could dual-boot 
Windoze and NetBSD (which is what I will do if this solution doesn't 
pan out for any of a number of reasons), or with the right hardware I 
may be able to run Xen3 (but I need low-power hardware, and I haven't 
seen that yet in a suitable configuration that will support Windoze 
under Xen).  Plus, when I'm running Windoze, I won't be on the net, so 
I should be pretty well protected from attack.
