(Dual-booting and Windows should still function as before after the upgrade of 12.04 to 14.04) 3. 12.04 is dual booted with another Linux distribution (E.g. fedora). (Dual-booting and the other Linux should still function as before after the upgrade of 12.04 to 14.04) 4. 12.04 is dual booted with Unix (E.g. netbsd). (Dual-booting and Unix should still function as before after the upgrade of 12.04 to 14.04) </blockquote> Basically there shouldn't be any difference between these scenarios, except maybe the bootloader settings. I'm pretty sure the upgrade will respect whatever config is in place regarding that as well. That's not to say different kind of tests aren't welcome; they most definitely are. <blockquote cite="mid:52E93092.7000003@gmail.com" type="cite"> #1 is probably the most common scenario. #2 is unique because of the requirement to coexist with the Microsoft boot-loader. #3 and #4 are different from #1 because of potential boot-loader and grub version differences (potential conflicts). NOTE: I left out Android because the probability of someone dual-booting Android (Linux kernel but yet another boot-loader scenario) and Xubuntu 12.04 at the moment is not significant. Other opinions? However, next time (16.04?) could be a different matter. #2 can be set-up by downloading a legal evaluation copy of Windows 8.1 from here: <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/default">http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/default</a> Note that you will be prompted my Microsoft to login or register if you are not already logged in. Registering is legally cost-free. Please do not use illegal bitorrent methodologies. I'll do all 4x2=8 cases as soon as all of my "day jobs" permit, in the above priority order (other opinions about order?). I am downloading W-oink as I type. </blockquote> No other priorities, but please mention the scenario you were upgrading from in the comments section of the test report. <blockquote cite="mid:52E93092.7000003@gmail.com" type="cite"> Someone else PLEASE do as much as possible of the same as I my test-rig is still an Intel-abandoned Intel CedarTrail/PowerVR motherboard (D2550MUD2). Yes, I am going to get rid of it during 1Q2014 since nothing fully makes use of the hardware including Windows. Still kicking myself for poor research 12 months ago!
