Here's the problem with that scenario -- and I'm really getting tired of explaining it -- I use Linux! The K4PC + skindle solution doesn't work on Linux (not even if you find the old beta version of K4PC and get it working under Wine, I've tried).
Unless I want to walk across the street, knock on the neighbor's door and ask nicely if I can install some software on their PC, I'm out of luck. So is anybody else who doesn't have a Windows PC or a Mac in their home.
So, as much as everyone would like to think there's a global solution to this problem that will work for everybody... there's not.
So I panic... with the comfort of knowing I have every right to.  |
You can always find a copy of Windows and dual install. You COULD find an illicit version, but even if that's not your cup of tea, an old XP disc would do fine for your purposes; those can be found dirt cheap these days. Granted, it's an inelegant solution since you'd probably want to reformat one of your computers (Windows doesn't play well with others when installed second), but if this is a big concern for you, it's probably worth it. Just cut your Windows partition down to what's required. Shouldn't be too terrible.
