I hate windows but i keep on comming back

Hi Chanchao,

it isnt fine at all.  dual-boot means paying M$ for a stinky OS.

Would you think Billy Gee cares if you use linux more often than win$
for as long as you buy his OS everytime you buy a machine?  I am only
saying this because I plan to buy a laptop but I am forced to ppay extra
for Win$ Home Ed.

doin dual boot is like always having a green socks around in case
someone gives you a geen shoes for christmas.
