I put it on a dual boot laptop once because the laptop was to shitty to run to a proper VM and I wanted to get updates at a few different points in time. Intel Core 2 Dou and Windows XP as the other OS. It was more of a project laptop than a daily driver though.

Was windows XP the current windows generation or did you pick it for some other reason? I assume it'll run easier on weak hardware, and until just now never thought about putting it on my laptop as a dual boot for those moments you actually need windows.

It was around the time Windows 7 was out but XP was still supported by Microsoft.
