I will need XP for some special effects software-- I just have not seen
anything comparible for linux that can do easy and incredible special
effects-- thermal distortions, jedi light saber stuff, particle effects
like realistic fire and flocks of birds/bees, etc. There is some really
nice stuff out there for Windows, lacking sad to say in linux. But I
think I can do most of what I need to do in linux-- non linear video
editing, audio; then run the special effects on selected clips in Windows.
