I'm running into the same problem in my house these days. I find that I need to keep one PC that has (1) a Windows partition and (2) a DVD drive.

No matter how I try, I find I need to keep coming back to Windows, even if it is just to do some gaming or download some proprietary driver software for my daughter's otherwise-very-cool Tag Reader. And I keep finding that there are optical discs that I need to read, no matter how obsolete I personally find them to be.

So yeah, I think most people are going to need some access to these legacy things for a while to come.

And as I've been saying, if the N800 was good enough for occasionally reading DVDs before, why isn't it good enough now? It can even easily transfer the data to a microSD (with adapter card) to be used by the N900.
