Did you actually stop using Ubuntu during this time? Or do you just
mean you stopped the distribution upgrades? 10.04, as 12.04, are long
term support, meaning there is no reason not to continue using the
desktop as security stays current (though 2015 at the moment).

Not sure I follow unless you are chainloading a separate grub for each
OS on the HD. If you are using Grub 2, this is not a bad idea, as
Kernel updates are ignored if 'update-grub' is not run from the
partition where it's bits and pieces sit (or so I've been told). I
prefer to just install the old Grub though and not bother with Grub2.
