why do people want dual boot?

<< < (2/2)

core-user:
Usually one of two reasons:
They want to keep Windows or MacOS, but want to try Linux.
They have a prefered Linux distro, but want to try/evaluate another distro.

Hello

My two cents worth, the Flexibility you get from one piece of hardware. If it can run
all operating systems.... then great.

 Booting all, to me, makes  the most sense. OSX and Win and
Lin. and Anr driod too..... (iOS) somehow too.

I wish I can install anther disk on my notebook.

coreplayer2:
I multi-boot from various partitions and sometime across various drives. 
Mostly the apps I need are only available to run on certain OS's or on specific versions so have to be able to boot all those supporting OS's.    As favorite apps become available for Linux I am able to transition more to my favorite OS "TC"
I find Grub2 is more than capable of multi-booting various TC versions as well as other OS's on additional partitions of same drive  or separate drives so is my favorite boot loader / manager.

F12 or F8 as described by the OP is not BIOS independent or for that matter drive/partition independent which passes control only to a specific drive, because of this severe limitation this is not a desirable solution. 
Grub2 therefore wins
