if you REALLY must use a certain windows application that you can't live without, you still don't have to boot into windows, there are several pieces of FREE software that will allow you to run windows software and games from within linux.

Wine - https://www.winehq.com (you can just install this from the package manager within ubuntu, simple as putting a tick in a box and clicking apply) This allows ubuntu/linux to run windows applications in its native environment (in a nutshell), on their website there is a list of apps/games which are tested and given ratings (gold/silver etc..) on their reliability.

also, VMware, also available in the package manager, this actually creates a virtual machine which you can install any operating system you like on and run it in a window (or full screen) on your desktop, but it acts independantly so you can do what you like to it and it won't affect the rest of your computer..
