Wunnerful... The last dual boot I had was the old Dell with Windows 7 and 
SuSE 13.2 and I used 7 very rarely. Anything since then is straight linux 
or Windows. It's not like I'm lacking computers. Even at work our Linux 
boxes were straight Linux. IT would deliver a new bare iron box and run 
like hell. They didn't want to know anything about Linux.
