Janet, My worry on having W7, or whatever, on there dual booted, is that if the user ever switched over to it, there would be such a large number of updates to download a) it would take hours before it could be used and b) by the time it was booted to W , there may no longer be support for it anyway i.e totally vulnerable. This does not take into account the large amount of disc space wasted with W and the legion of updates etc.
My 2ps worth is not to bother dual booting. FWIW
