Though I have two Imacs and a macbook, I still run a dual boot laptop that will run XP or ubuntu. I prefer ubuntu for the internet on this laptop because as of yet viruses and adware and other problems aren't there on this open source linux based operating system. However, if you are technically savvy enough to install a dual boot ubuntu or XP type of partitioned system be sure to always download the updates as soon as possible to keep it running smoothly. Just like you would download Microsoft updates for XP or Vista you need to download the ubuntu updates to keep it running smoothly as well.
For those of you who haven't heard of UBUNTU yet it is becoming as popular in its own way as Firefox. The difference being that firefox is a browser and UBUNTU is a fully functional superior linux open source based operating system that seems to work the best alongside of XP as far as I understand it. Dowloading using this operating system is faster than any operating system my son has ever seen. No matter what your downloading speed capacity is it will tend to increase using ubuntu. I personally think that this thing is so well designed for efficiency by thousands of volunteer open source programmers all over the world who just want to design the best operating system that ever existed up to this day for PCs. If you are technically savvy enough to install and use it by partitioning your hard drive then by all means try it or have your tech partition your hard drive and then try it. As long as you have both XP and UBuntu on board if you don't like the way ubuntu does something then simply restart in XP.
I personally only use it for traveling the internet. However, my son who installed my xp and ubuntu dual boot does all sorts of other stuff as well. There is also all sorts of extra programs designed all over the world to use in conjunction with UBUNTU as well. It is a very fun open source Free operating system. Try it if you like.
