ok it not kde specific, but why you are still keeping ms windows as dual-boot, what are those applications that you can't live without them, and they don't have Linux equivalent, i suspect many of you still keep ms windows for games. not my case, thank God, i am rather a casual gamer, thus nexuiz is more then enough for me.
for me i still keep ms windows for :
- primavera p3 and p6, they are very popular project management software, in my work it is a must have, and they both don't work under wine. i know there is kplato, gnome planner and openproj, but as long as they don't have 100% feature parity with a complete native file format support, they will not be an attractive replacement.
- autocad, i guess you all know it

so what about you ?

Easy answer...I don't dual-boot or use VMWare/Vbox. No need for me, thankfully. The few Windows programs I sometimes need work fine using Wine (or at least the features of them that I use...they may bug out somewhere else for all I know).

Ok, you have found me out.

Desktop:
I run a business (non-profit) that requires distribution of free media material.
- I still use windows to copy discs as I have not been real comfortable with K3B yet. Currently I use 'Ashampoo Burning Studio'.
- Then I print labels direct to disc with 'CD-LabelPrint' using Canon Pixma IP4200.
- Then there is 'I-Tunes' for my iPod & iPhone.

If I get KDE apps that do equal or better than the ones mentioned I will happily let go of the windoze partition.

Laptop:
KDE only I am happy to report.

I have a Vista partition, so small that it would kick against the sides of its box if I let it do so, only because my daughters (who all have Linux-only laptops) occasionally have schoolwork that must be done with Windows apps. Fortunately, someone in the fourth year is converting all the office-type stuff to OpenOffice, and the music teacher has the sense to recommend Audacity. I haven't had to start Vista yet, and next time I try a new Linux distribution I'll use that partition for it.

And yes, we tried to fight the ICT teachers, but it was like kicking a brick wall with bare feet. Not as bad, though, as a friend of ours in Amsterdam (also a Linux man), who had to buy his twelve-year-old son a Windows computer because that was on the list of mandatory school supplies.

I currently don't have a Windows partition (a FreeBSD "slice") on any of my computers (don't have a need to run any Windows programs), although someday I may get around to installing ReactOS on a spare disk.

Because the Open University with whom I study and for whom I have occasionally worked demands it and because I have an HP Scanner program which at the moment cannot be matched by Kooka. Now if someone out there is working for HP or knows someone working for HP, is there any chance of HP Director for Linux? I know there is GPL code in it because I was once trying to sort out a problem caused by M$ and discovered the GPL credit attached to the program.

A gamer here, so yeah, I have a winXP partition on my hard drive. Only for games, wine and cedega are not enough.

I'm waiting and extern HD to backup my files and, then, remove Windows Vista Basic (urgh!).

EDIT: Ah! And my modem's Linux driver is a ****.

I have a Windows XP partition for games here as well, on a MacBook Pro without OS X on a partition somewhere, mind you.

The last time I touched it is a while ago, I'm currently too involved in playing Baldur's Gate in Wine at the moment. Great game.

I have a Vista partition and like others it's purely for games. Wine just doesn't cut it for newer games.

I don't have any windows partition... ,-)
But, I have to admit, there run three XPs in VirtualBox, just to check some web pages in some exotic web browsers. It's quite more comfortable than wine somehow... Especially because these windows systems don't need no booting or shutting down, by saving the session...

I have a Windows partition because I haven't been bothered to delete it yet, it hasn't been booted since the middle of January when I made my permanent switch. There is not one thing that I do that doesn't have a decent Linux alternative or port. Programming, networking, electronics, office, drafting, designing, keeping in contact, video, gaming and everything else works flawlessly for me.

for games and visual studio 2008

no windows partition

I still keep windows to try kde4 on it :shade:

Actually I only have to use windows at work. At home I do not use it at all. But my wife does...
