One should also consider the a dual-booter's experience with F-Spot.
You may be considering switching to Ubuntu but for any kind of reason
you're still stuck using Windows (be it games, or some Windows-only
software, etc.).

During the years you have amassed an impressive collection of photos
that you've carefully organised, categorized, tagged, named, etc.
Such collections typically occupy at least a few GB or a few tens of GB.

How would you feel if F-Spot demanded importing all those photos by
copying the to your 15GB Ubuntu partition? Wouldn't you think F-Spot
(or if you're not very techy: Ubuntu) is inferior to your Windows
tools?
