As mentioned already, whether you dual boot or not often boils down to how you use the computer and possibly more importantly, how you might use it in the future.
I personally do 99% of my computing at home on a Linux machine, and it's been that way since maybe a month after I converted. I just found that for most of what I do, I don't need Windows and in fact can do a lot of things more efficiently with Linux. However, I do occasionally like to lose myself in a commercial game. And, as I started to do side-work on other people's computers, I found a Windows installation, not essential, but handy.
If you're like the majority of computer users who do web, e-mail, and the like, a dual boot system is overkill unless you have the extra hard drive space and already have the license for Windows. If you *do* already have the license and the space, setting up a dual boot system, in the end, just gives you more options.
