I guess we'll need to wait to find out what Jer means by the whole
alternative OS thing.  My keysigning sessions were platform nuetral
for example, and I think there were a total of two Windows and
possibly one OS X user among those participating.

There's definitely some minor logistics problems with running multiple
OSes in the lounge (if that means BSD/OpenSolaris), and some major
(and pricy!) ones if that was to include MacOS (Apple Hardware) or
Windows (higher end machines, OS License, AV license, firewall
license, finding a Windows Admin for a Linux convention....., Ghost
license, application software licenses unless the whole point is to
spend more money to run the same apps under Windows, etc.).
