[QUOTE="Nohtanhoj, post: 987512, member: 141425"] Not a half-bad idea. I am going to be running games on Win 7 (the only reason I'm actually going to use Windows), but Linux I run exclusively for the programming environments. However, recently I've checked out XCode and it's got some great stuff (especially being able to to view the contents of instance variables *drool* instead of just memory addresses in debug mode), so I suppose Linux could go entirely (or just virtualize it). In order to get rid of my existing Linux partitions and free up space for my Windows ones, am I correct in saying that since the Linux filesystem is different than the OS X/Windows one, I would have to format my entire existing drive and restore from a very recent Time Machine backup?
