I recently gave it a whirl in the last 2 months on one of my machines. Ubuntu and Mint didn’t do it for me. The biggest negative is that the hard drive can’t be imaged and reinstalled with both OS side by side.(unless I’m missing something) I found that if you don’t put them side by side all your windows drivers that are already there can’t be converted into Linux easily. So far anyway.

What is the requirement to convert the Windows drivers?

It is possible to install both Windows and linux on the same hard drive, but I've always found it easier to use separate drives, and run GRUB to choose either Linux or Windows.
