That's the reality today, but when you take a step back and look at it more broadly it sounds nothing short of ridiculous. I don't remember any scifi movies where the characters had to dual-boot their refrigerators because the main OS kept track of your food supply but another OS had the software for calorie counting.
When you tell any normal person "that software doesn't work on this computer" they'll only stare back at you confused. It really doesn't make any sense and it should be the #1 priority for software development going forward.
