For me it is all about application support
I would love to junk Windows to nestle in the warm, robust embrace of Linux.
Office document support is admirably covered by Open Office.
But I need Quicken and MS-Project.
I have trialled CrossOver (?) based on Wine to host Windows apps - and I gave up trying to install Quicken after 5 attempts. It may be possible - but I just ran out of time - so I have to keep a flaky Windows machine for those two applications.
There are many, many native Linux apps but there are always crucial gaps - for example a "podcast reader" that works as seamlessly as I-tunes. Juicer may do it - but it isn't released on Linux
