My machine at home dual boots WinXP and Linux. I use XP most of the time, mostly
because I haven't yet figured out how to make my broadband connection work with
Unix (but I know it can). I'm a little surprised that no-one's mentioned Cygwin
yet; I use it quite a bit when I want to point the nifty Unix tools at stuff on
my Windows box.
