I have been using Linux, along with Windows, since 1997 — sometimes alternating; using one for a while and then replacing it with the other; sometimes dual-booting, with both installed on the same computer. I’m never quite happy with either arrangement. Regarding using one at a time, there are applications on one I miss when I use the other, and Win32 ports and WINE always seem to fall short of using the application natively. When it comes to dual booting, dividing up hard drive space is always a problem; especially considering that while Linux can read NTFS (and read and write to FAT32), any hard drive space dedicated to Linux is mostly inaccessible to Windows.
