    I could give less a **** about your OS preference. I've used Windows and Linux. Right now, I want to use a Mac.

    Yes, I love the eye candy

    How easy is the uninstall process?

    And I need a windows CD too?

    The virtualbox .dmg includes a 'VirtualBox Uninstall.tool' script (double-click it and it will run automatically in your terminal if you want to do it using the GUI). Guides you through a perfect uninstall...
    Virtualbox IS the way to go, it doesn't look like much (in my opinion) but it works like a champ!

    Uninstall process is easy, and why would you use Windows when doing development with the N900 when you can use Ubuntu or Debian and get a better environment?

    I went with windows because I do a lot of CAD work. But I could do Ubuntu since I used it a while ago.
    So I just download Ubuntu, burn the ISO onto a CD and I'm good?

    Don't even bother with burning it. When you create the virtual machine in VirtualBox, you can point it at the ISO and it'll treat it like a CD.

    Windows offers nothing over Linux when it comes to N900 development. Nokia's Qt tools are identical, and you can work with scratchbox if needed.

    Uh, don't confuse Mac OS, with iPhone OS, it makes you look like a tool. If you weren't confusing them, then you're just being a tool that doesn't know what they're talking about. Regardless, you should stop talking now before you drown in your own bullsh*t.

    Have a nice day!

    However if you also want to target Symbian devices then I think using Windows is still required, right?
