I really don't understand this.
Is it that a goal of Linux is "convenient use of your computer"?
The dual boot is not a Windows solution, but a Linux solution
simply because Linux supports file systems of other OS
while Windows doesn't in a local system.
So the developers of Linux obviously don't mind Linux users
to use other OS.
I just provided the simple obvious solution the originator of this
post already knows.
Please do not get me wrong. I want to be a Linux only user.
But, how can you solve the problem like reading a propritary
file format of a propritary application of a propritary OS without
using the propritary system itself into a file Linux can use?
If you can solve this problem, I am happy to be a Linux only
user and you can say Windows users not welcome here.

Regards,
Kei.
