Not correct - they're adopting some dual-boot because of some lock-in to
IE which they've been unable to crack so far.

The article says it's because of lock-in to Internet Explorer, but that
they will continue with a dual-boot system using the existing Wienux
install.
This should probably be raised with the competition authorities, since
linking Schlaumause to specific IE plugins is obviously anti-competitive.
Neelie Krooes might want to add it to her list. Once the cost of
Vista-capable machines is understood, then it seems most likely that
more effort will be put into resolving the underlying problem which is a
Schlaumause-IE lock-in, nothing to do with Wienux itself.
