I’m building the kids a box with Vista 64-bit just to irritate them. I’ll dual-boot Ubuntu which will REALLY irritate them.

Why dual boot? Run it on a virtual machine.

Because my kids are computer illiterates. It’s the curse of the programmer. We all have whiny idiot users at home.

Not all apps like the virtual machine. Best to let them run natively whenever possible.
