 I also run several flavours of Linux /  BSD in VMware.

Well I shy away from partitioning whenever I can.  I would much  rather
buy another machine for dedicated operation which I could do.
 
So I am not really "stuck" with windows but since I am already using  it
(and I am basically lazy to boot)  I use it.    When I  get the time (my 
converter
assembly takes all my time right now) I will probably get a linux only  
machine
and take the plunge.   Some of the people I respect the most on  this list 
use it so it must
be worth the extra effort of running another machine.
