    Some of us do. I run Windows NT 4.0 Workstation in VMWare server running under Ubuntu Dapper. Also tried XP pro and Vista RC1 in VMWare server running under Ubuntu Dapper.

    Congrats!

    I've been 98% Ubuntu for at least a year. I kept windo$e around for games and MatLab, but I don't have time for games anymore (school) and I now have MatLab for linux. Now I'm finally free!

    my phone has usb software for windows only, and my laptop has no bluetooth

    thats all thats keeping me right now

    im hopefully going to be getting a new laptop at christmas, with bluetooth (and intel wireless, nvidia graphics etc.) so it will be bye bye windows, hello linux

    incidentally my niece will be getting her first desktop at christmas too, and ill probably be setting up ssh or remote desktop to help administer it remotely. (no one else really has any linux skills, so it will be down to me)

    I to have Win XP running within vmware server I mainly because 2-3 programs I can't completely get away from I wish I could get them to run under wine so I didn't have to still support ******* by using XP wheather it's inside vmware or not it is still being used thus still supporting Bill Gates empire.

    Vmware just makes it easier to get to Win then partitioning HD and having to reboot to get into Win then reboot back into Linux.... If I could run the programs I am too used to to completely dump I'd not need to have Win on my comp in any form.
