Fwd: [Corpora-List] Grep for Windows

[Emrah]

The thing Markus stated is another way of having multiple OSs in one
computer, but the hosting computer should have some optimal hardware (RAM in
this case) in order to run at least two OSs.
If your hardware is *powerful* then WMWARE is the solution, but if not it's
better to resize your partition. In short, there is always a way to get what
you want! :))

Happy new year by the way!
