Would you wipe out Windows
what would u do??

No. For two reasons:
1 - My son has 1 'kid's' game that only works in widows (it comes with a kiddie USB steering wheel)
2 - It's actually quite useful having 2 different types of OS's on the same machine as if a piece of harware stops working proporly I can test in in both to determin if it's a hardware issue of a software one.
Although the truth is that I practically never boot into windows.

Already did a few years back. I'd say it was back in 2004 or early 2005 when I dropped it.

I read your question 2 ways:
1. Would I delete it from my hdd if I had it?
2. If I had Godly powers would I wipe it from the planet?
For Q1.: no need, it deleted itself. I can see the funny side of that now. For Q2., actually the answer is no: I need something to laugh about. Actually I have a more serious reason ... I don't believe there should be just 1 major OS, and in a strange way I think that perhaps Linux needs Windows. Maybe: I'm not 100% sure about that. <shrugs and wanders away>I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it. - Pablo Picasso

I wouldn't get rid of it because I can' afford to. Getting rid of it would mean I'd need a new liscence to run it on a VM.

I don't have an option at work, as I'm forced to use Windows. I don't have any problems with running Linux only at home, though.

I got rid of it last year. Never looked back (although I still need it at work
)

I actually voted yes, but looking back and at some other posts. I would like to keep a dual boot for windows just for games. After I learn more about linux, I will use it more and more often.

i am dual booting. i am studying Taxation Law these days and all Taxation Computation Packages are Windows based only.
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
