I am not sure but really don't know as to why the moderators allow
external links to blogs to be posted here. To my understanding, this
list is for support and release announcements. I think, it should be
made clear on the outset. <br>
<br></div></blockquote><div>if some one is writing about their experiences with changing to Linux its worthwhile for me (personally( to read) and i also think it finds a place on this list. such posts are support in itself as it would help others understand what issues affect people and their choices and methods.<br>
<br>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.<br>
<br>I dual boot any my reasons are<br>1. M$ isn't returning my money if i uninstall windows<br>2. Some hardware works only on windows (or i haven't been able to get said hardware to work on linux)<br>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)<br>
<br>**<br>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<br><br></div></div>Ram<br>_________________________________________________________<br>
