I don't disagree - but just wanted to point out that dual boot with
windows is not the only case. For example until recently I had a dual boot
with Mac OS-X on my iBook ( now it is  100 % Ubuntu 7.04  :)  )

Many people ( including me)  also dual boot ( or multi boot ) versions of
Linux, BSD etc. For example, I currently have Dapper and Feisty on this
machine.

So, I don't think the wording avoids the "W" word for political reasons :-)
