Seriously though, I get concerned about this because I seem to see a trend (at least a sub-one) where folks have no problem adding beasts atop of beasts. Although I think this might have its place for say a quick access to a DOS-box, or even MS-Windows, from under UNIX w/o having to reboot, surely native apps under Windows, it's like hey, wow, what's happenning sometimes 🙁 I've been trying to hit home on this somewhat when I teach lately, but the sluggishness, sloppiness, and laziness of some _programmers_ is certainly to be condemned.
