nope. and if they are not you are stuck. Many people have to run XP 
when they bough Vista - for example my GPS (walk) drivers don't work 
under vista and wont ever work (no maker web site)... and the gps is 
only one year old.

yes and dualbooting is also require because windows is so unstable and 
unsecure I wont use it for web or mail, so I have to run Linux :-))

however I have better run windows on virtualbox with linux host and 
windows guest than the other way round.

(I use windows for video and games :-))
