Well to tell the truth, I have a Windows XP system here - available on a
KVM.

I only use it...

- to connect to a Windows Terminal server that I don't want to force
them to buy a license for me if I use Linux RDP
- to check web sites for compatibility
- to experiment with client software as I dabble in openldap/cyrus-imap
and server stuff that I will know what to expect in client's offices
- my kids come over and use it

other than that - all email, word processing, spreadsheets, web surfing,
etc...linux

I think it all gets easier once you stop using Windows as a crutch (i.e
editing files, downloading files, etc.)
