While I don't like Windows, I do have to use it for some things.

If I didn't, I wouldn't (except for some games).

On my laptop I actually have three hard drives: a) primary
disk carrier with WinXP loaded; b) primary disk carrier with
Linux loaded; c) modular disk carrier with a data disk loaded.

I swap out the primary as needed, and leave the modular loaded
unless I need the CD burner, floppy, or second battery (the
DVD is in the fixed bay).
