I had trouble getting the last Vista computer to dual boot. I just did Linux only and it worked really really well. Just use google maps and you don't need Streets and Trips. I bought a 2013 S&T. I cannot believe Micro Soft is still selling this. It has not been upgraded in years. On the other hand Apple has been slammed so much on their maps that introduced a really great map upgrade last month on their Mac Book Pros. Far superior to S&T. So if you feel like blowing big bucks (which you likely are not as you are installing a free Linux OS) but it you do get a new Mac Book Pro.
