My main OS is Linux. There is only 1 thing I need to use Windows is for printing coupon. The coupon app won't work with Linux. I have tried Wine. No luck with the coupon app.
Should I dual boot Linux & XP or I just install a XP virtual machine?

Thank you.

If that's all you want it for, just run it in a VM.

Sorry to say, but as far as I know no coupon printer works in a virtual machine. The programs are designed to detect if it is running in a virtual setting and will state when you try to print that it does not work on a virtual machine.

Only way to get around this is having a dual boot of linux and windows. Fire up windows when you need to print the items. It is a bit of a pain, but the software was designed to prevent someone with 1 computer from printing an unlimited number of coupons, which if they worked in a Vm you could do.
