I have dual boot on my laptop Windows Vista and FC8. FC8 outperforms Vista. The only reason I still use Windows is because Itunes is still not there for Linux. I use the smart playlist feature on my ipod and hence using itunes to manage the ipod is essential.
The other reason I used to use windows was because of photoshop. But now Gimp does everything I need that photoshop does.
