Can't speak for Ubuntu, but I can tell you that I had one hell of a time
setting up Fedora 11 on a dual boot with XP recently! Fedora 11 made a
change from the previous version how/where it makes the boot partition
active. Machine would not boot and it turned out to be a colossal
hemorrhoid!

I don't like dual boots, regardless of the OS. If I want to use Windows,
I have a machine for that. If I want to use Linux, I have another
machine for that. I have spare hard drives to test.

I like to be able to switch from one OS to another by turning my head,
not rebooting.

Of course not because it's not the same thing.

I don't like dual boots either, I personally use virtual machines for
multiple OSes. This was for some contract work I picked up recently,
and that's what the customer wanted.

You are right. TV has social value and Ubuntu doesn't!

Just like when you complete a "job". You say to the customer, "That will be
129 Euros for Ubuntu, and 65 Euros for the installation"

It's easy. I am doing my Noble Mission by following you and correcting all
the lies you spread about that INFERIOR Ubuntu you try to peddle to others.
