    Regardless what operating system you have there is always a solution. One new way of having some forex software for lets say for linux, and you have lets pretend Windows XP is:

    You dont need to lose anything. All you do is install Microsoft Virtual PC. Once you install that you can then install linux into the virtual machine , then istall your linux software.

    This way you can have Windows XP as normal and then just load up Linux inside the VM, all on the same computer without any chance of losing your info or the data or operating ststem etc.

    The same principle applies to MAC O/S as well.

    This can be handy if u have software and you dont want to reinstall your current operating system.
