There is a poll - with (when i voted) 34 votes of which linux only is 47 % and Linux and Windows dual booting is 41 %. It may not be scientific but it still allows us to know what people are up to - about 88 % use linux as opposed to the over hyped apple . However it leads to a deeper question - why are the people who dual boot using dual boot. I dual boot any my reasons are 1. M$ isn't returning my money if i uninstall windows 2. Some hardware works only on windows (or i haven't been able to get said hardware to work on linux) 3. Some "official sites" require windows / ms office / i.e explorer and emulation seems to not work. (e.g income tax e return filing forms in .xls) ** so while the above questions are off topic - its just to indicate that visiting aforementioned blog got me thinking (yet again) about what reasons people have for dual booting Ram _________________________________________________________ http://www.munsiari.com
