Wow.  And they put a big red circle/X through the CoCo, too.   Like 
somebody is going to go out and look for a CoCo to do all that XP stuff.  :)

I'm actually going to watch the rest of the video later since I'm 
dabbling in USB/CF bootable CoCo emulation, where you would be able 
to take a virtual CoCo in your pocket when you leave town, head over 
to the friends house, etc.,  pop a USB dongle in their PC and boot 
right into a CoCo with all the historical software right there.  My 
2gig CF card is nowhere close to running out of room.  It already 
allows an IA-1 unit to boot right into Keil's emulator, thanks to the 
help of a few others who helped me with that project.  Still, I like 
the idea of the USB stick better.
