Dual booting Windows and Linux doesn't mean you have to maintain two separate sets of applications, preferences, and documents. With cross-platform, open-source applications like Firefox, Thunderbird and Pidgin, you can use the same apps with the same configuration automatically no matter what OS you've booted.

The purpose of this note is to report on the use of the web browser Mozilla Firefox, the e-mail client Mozilla Thunderbird, and the calendar application Sunbird in a dual boot environment. Specifically, we show how to share bookmarks, mail folders, address books, and calendar files between installations of Firefox, Thunderbird, and Sunbird under Windows XP and Linux.
