Don't know where this subject line is inherited from, the discussion seems to have strayed way off. Anyway, since this is my first post on this forum, I will refrain from tampering with it.
It is surprising that after being a power user and an expert in Linux, you still have a Windows partition in your system and it is used too. If linux experts ( I mean all experts) find Windows crappy, then why do they still have the partition in their systems?
Don't know about 'experts', but for ordinary folk like me, many of us have to deal with clients who work with proprietary software and sometimes want stuff in proprietary formats. Like, when some work is needed on an Indesign file, there is little choice for me but to go to Windoze. Thus, while I hate it and rarely go there, that partition stays undisturbed on my comp., ready for use when needed. Free software fundamentalism to this extent would mean some serious pain -- paapi pet ka sawaal hai!
