No problem,always happy to help in anyway I can.
Linux and Microsoft are now in discussions over further joint development as they have in the past with Suse (Novell) ,hopefully the Microsoft people will get some tips on releasing better operating systems in future as from my experience of Vista they have done exactly as they did with xp and released an incomplete and untested O/S yet again with an extortionate price tag.
Linux is free and rock solid with 10`s of 1000`s in applications ,also free under the GNU license.
The fedora Core project Linux is very good for dual booting and has full NTFS support so no need to shutdown and reboot ,as you can access other operating system and use both operating systems from one desktop.
Unlike Debian there is no need to compile packages and there is regular updates that keep functionality at peak in both applications and security.
Installation is also easy,load windows first and then Linux,the anaconda partition manager will recognize windows and will also give you a choice of which O/s you wish to boot by default,as well as giving you a visual boot screen at start up so that you may switch to other O/S.
If you need further help than offered by documentation and I can help I will. (:^D)
