Ubuntu alongside Windows...

Has anybody tried it? I'm downloading it now, it runs the Linux based software alongside a standard Windows, giving it a try for the fun of it. ;)

Hmm, couldn't get it to work. I might try a bit later, perhaps I haven't done something quite right.
Any luck your end?

Why do a dual-boot. Run Ubuntu in a VM.

I've been using Ubuntu on and off for a couple of years now. So much faster and more stable than Windows.
Mind you I've a terrible bias based on being raised with Unix ;D
