I was running a dual boot Vista/Linux laptop until it crashed and burned.

Now that I have "retired" from my IT career, I am less wed to Microsoft than ever before. I have used Open Office and actually prefer it to the current incarnation of Word. Sorry, but when they went to the "ribbon" interface Word became a little too clumsy for me.

Probably the only app that I can't get away from is Adobe Photoshop/Photoshop Elements. I've been active in photography for about 45 years, the last ten in digital media (not exclusively though). I have tried GIMP as a photo editor, but I'm not wild about it.

I have been running VLC Media Player on my Windows and Android devices. I've had more success porting playlists from Windows Media Player to VLC than from WMP to Windows Music/Groove. So stupid of Microsoft to have done this!

Still, if I buy a new desktop I would not rule out a dual boot configuration as I assess both Windows 10 and the current flavors of Linux for myself.
