2. Read and translate the texts:

Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional includes dual boot
capability, which allows you to install two or more operating
systems on your computer and then select which one you want to
use when you start the computer. (In fact, because it allows you to
install more than two operating systems, this capability is
sometimes called multiboot or multiple booting.) Why would you
want to do this?
• You might want to use an application that doesn't run properly
in Windows 2000. For example, many games - particularly
older ones - run better in Windows 98 or even MS-DOS.
• You might need to support or test applications in different
environments. If you develop applications, for example, you'll
want to test them in each environment that your customers will
use.
