Why even use Microsoft at all?

The best way is not to dual-boot, but to run Windows in a VM under Linux.

How does Windows perform under a VM under Linux? Can it do any heavy lifting?

My games and photoshop and other windows only software do not run well under vm unfortunately. I dual boot into windows 7 and don’t allow windows down to connect to internet.

For those who don’t want to install and use Virtual Machine did you run across a solution to this MS Update problem? Other than risking the potential chaos of System Restore?

I bought a couple of new laptops and want to do just this. I’m officially done with Office too, forever. I need to come up to speed on Linux. It’s time.

Anyone know a good place to get educated about it in a more or less elegant fashion?
