Dual Booting Operating Systems

Which operating system is the best? Windows, Mac, or Linux? The endless battle still rages on today and the answer will never be agreed upon. "All operating systems suck" - Chris Pirillo. I'd have to agree with that statement. Every OS has its major and minor flaws and no OS will ever be perfect. Each OS has its strengths and weaknesses. For example, Windows is the best OS for gaming, Linux is the best for servers, and Mac is the best for media editing. BUT I WANT THE BEST OF EVERYTHING!!! Well, the answer lies in dual booting. Dual booting is basically installing multiple OS's on your computer and choosing which one you'd like to use every time you turn on your computer. There you go, the best of both worlds! How do I do a dual boot? Well if want to dual boot separate OS's (not just different versions, like XP and vista) you can simply install the OS's you want on one drive. However, if you want to install multiple versions of Windows, the process is a little more complex. Windows does not support dual booting of multiple versions on the same drive. However, this doesn't mean you have to go out and buy another hard drive. Using a program like Acronis Disk Director Suite will allow you to resize, create, delete, and format partitions. If you create another partition for your next Windows installation, you will still have the option to choose OS's.
