And now they're admitting that the damn thing didn't work right! "MS: 20% of WGA failures not caused by pirated keys"

I'd like this to be my first post, because it seems appropriate, using the Ubuntu distro of the Linux operating system. I'm using dualboot so that I can run WinXP as well, but it's on an entirely different partition. So far, I'm happy with the switch.

Im using Red Hat Linux, I can Run Mac OSX10 and I can do the same on my iMac and Macmini.

But Yea I use Boot Camp on Mac..Yes it sucks but its gotten better..So I basicly cover all aspects..But Windows is for Gaming.
