Re: Five year old
To an extent I agree with that. Although I've run Linux for many years, I've been slowly moving various stuff across to Linux since roughly 2005 with access to two machines to the point where my Windows 7 machine is now primarily used for only a few things that I still do that are locked into that OS which means that it often sits there powered down, poor thing!
As the two machines are almost identical hardware-wise, if my Linux system goes bang through overwork, chances are that this Win7 box will be scrubbed and turned into another Linux box with Virtualbox providing the last vestiges of Win7 use. Hopefully, by the time Win7 finally goes the way of WXP, I'll have sorted out the final bits that need to go across, then Microsoft can take a long walk off a short pier!
And before anyone says anything, no. I don't use Mint or Ubuntu.
