   According to his post (a few hours after yours) he certainly seems to be.

   At that point, you should consider virtualization. I used to jump through   
   hoops to get as many OS's as possible installed; nowadays I generally only   
   install the 3 I mentioned, and run everything else in VMware. (The exception   
   would be if I needed to run a system that doesn't like emulation, but I'd be   
   more likely to use a separate computer than try to add another to this one.)
