Because the computer will support two operating systems and their applications, it must have higher capacity to meet the increased demand on memory and speed.

For those intending to run the two OS simultaneously, duo-core computers are a must.

Ideally, each OS should be located on its own hard drive.

To successfully install the two OSs on one computer, start with the Windows OS and then the open source system.

“Open source OSs recognise Windows but the reverse is not true. When installing the open source system, it will allows co-existence.”

Apart from the two OSs, some users install two OS from Microsoft to enjoy the benefits of the old and new software.

    Great article! I have dual-booted my Computer with both Windows and Ubuntu. Ubuntu takes care of my needs. I am always on-line with Ubuntu and have not been using any anti-virus!!! Ubuntu is that safe. It has very good CD burning software, an excellent Word processor (OpenOffice), Image editor (Gimp) which comes FREE with Ubuntu.
