Where do I mention late? By the way I have skipped dual booting, as lightning suddenly appeared in two different versions for the two OS'. The two versions resulted in long start-up delays when using Thunderbird. I have now moved to using Ubuntu as my main OS and just runs XP in a virtual box, therefore Thunderbird is only running on Ubuntu. Virtual box works very well.
