yeah. i love it. perfect for programming. xp is nice to revert to when you dont want to do everything for your computer 😛
 
For surfing the internet and especially for downloading stuff Ubuntu is great. That way the pesky viri (which are geared almost exclusively to Windows) can be caught and blown out without risk. You're also talking about XP, but I want to mention my catch phrase, "Vista is like the Crysis of O.S.'s" it's ridiculous how much overhead this thing takes up!
 
yeah haha i agree. dual booting is such a great thing. i do it with my dell but i have to choose the partition i want to boot into
