  • I just want to know and I thought I might help this section because it's not all that active.

    I use Windows 7 and I love it. The only way I'll use a mac is after I get my dream computerm computer and I want a Macbook to browse with. Only way. I would get Ubuntu on a pretty old computer, definitely not my main one.

    I have a dual-booted computer with Ubuntu and Windows, but I mainly use Windows because it handles Skype better.

    Having a dual-booted computer would be awesome.

    It's really not hard to pull off at all...some guy from the Linux club on campus did it for me because I didn't know how, but I used that to try Ubuntu without having to lose Windows and all my files. (: Other than an issue with installing from a CD which we fixed by installing from a USB, it took a total of 20 minutes. You should try it!

  • I used to have a triple boot with Ubuntu 10 x64, Windows XP Pro, and Windows 7 Pro x64, but my drive with the MBR died when I got my new terrabyte drives, so I had to scrap that and now just run a single boot of Windows 7 Pro x64 with Ubuntu 10 x64 and XP Pro in virtual machines. My laptop runs Vista Home Premium x64.

  • I also have a Dual-Booting computer as well. I use both Ubuntu and Windows 7. I switch between those two often. Right now I'm on 7 for designing purposes.

    In school I have three OSes installed on my lab hard drive. I have Ubuntu, Windows 7, and Windows XP. I mainly use Windows XP because it's simple and I have Office 2003 in it and I have to use it for class sometimes.

    I have Dual boot System.

    1. Linux 90% of the time
    2. Windows 10% of the time

    I love the option of having the best of both operating systems.

  • I have Windows 7 Dual Booted with Ubuntu. I mainly use Windows 7 though, because Ubuntu doesn't really seem to have what it takes to make up for not being able to play games.

  • Dual-booting Mac OS X 10.6.7 and Windows XP. Although I almost never use Windows since I can do most stuff I need to on OS X anyway.

  • Windows Vista Home Premium. Spent a good while customizing it when I first got it and I'm fully satisfied with it now.
