Did you know that netbooks can support all three operating systems on the ARM? If I ever get one, I think I’d like to have each os installed on a different SD card and boot from there. Of course, I’d have to modify XP to do this, but the other two should be set.

I first used Macs in 2nd grade circa 1993, my friend's dad donated one of the first Macintoshes, which compared to the TATA DOS PC next to it was amazing. I love using them at the Library though because they're pretty easy to use for most things.

I'm a GNU/Linux/Debian fan because of package management, and ability to speed every thing and customize things by compiling things like the kernel. I also love it when I don't have to look for drivers (for my network card, video card, printer, scanners.)

I have Windows XP on my Desktop and a virtual machine. It's useful on my desktop right now because my motherboard has the stolen formula for capacitors and so my chip spits out bad info sometimes that Linux doesn't want to deal with.

I am thinking of dual boot with Ubuntu but haven’t decided yet. Windows 7, I am not so sure how it is going to be personally. I tested the original beta back when it came out and for me, I feel that the major improvement is in comparison to Vista (which is below rock bottom).

There IS always Windows 7 though, the RC seems pretty good so far.

What about dual-booting Apple and Ubuntu? It looks like it's possible.
