The University of Auckland has dual boot Windows/Linux machines in its compsci labs (and possibly a few other labs as well). All support documentation has details on setting up wifi/printing services on both Windows and Linux. Oh wait...there's no Mac support! ;-)

The coolest thing about the Walkman (and subsequent clones) was the spaceship-like cassette door opening, with a nice ejecting sound. I can't see the iPod doing that :-)
