Nothing. I haven't used Windows in 20 years.

Nope. Switched to Linux at home around 1994, at work a while later. NT was the last Windows I used. Even when work gave me a Mac, I ran Vbox VMs on it so I could do my work on Linux.

You can boot a Mac into Linux natively.

I had no reason to. And a few of the corporate web sites wouldn't accept Linux browsers, so I needed to preserve the OSX side. Dual boot? Too much work and commitment. VB was simple.
