A couple of things that helped with dual booting. One is the firefox del.icio.us extension. I can bookmark in either OS and can simply open firefox in either system to look at the same bookmarks. If course I can also add to them from IE7 using the normal del.icio.us buttons. At work I aahve to get IE^ to point at the del.icio.us homepage and log in and post manually. Bit long winded but nice interconnectivity going on their. I think they are on the Yahoo side of the divide.

Meanwhile google has grabbed Blogger.


The other co-habitation app is Ext2 IFS. It allows windows to have (almost) full read write access to my Ubuntu partition. This is really good. I can even use it to edit system files so it is better than having a shared FAT32 partition.

Today I created a text file with details of the football game I was going to. The printer wasn't working (haven't set it up so I rebooted into xp and opend the file with Notepad (I have the windows Vim so I could have used that)and printed from XP no problems at all. I could even download directly to Linux ifand in fact have done. (Seem to have better codec support in linux alternatively have some problems with certain files in Linux and can just open them with windows apps. great little bit of open source and very easy to use/set up.
