My guess is that 80% of us Microshaft users would love to do that.

That reminds me, will Linux present special problems on a laptop?

Should get my new Thinkpad next week.

I switched less than a month ago, and am very happy I did. I was using XP, and now I'm using Fedora.

Nothing dramatic made me change. I've used Microsoft software since DOS 3.x, for almost 20 years.

I think MS has done great things, but their OS is a black Model T that looks pretty boring to me alongside the new Cadillacs, Packards, and Chryslers out there.

I found this article today, and it gives a good overview for those considering the move.

Right now I am pretty darned happy about the fact that the OS only takes 2 GB on my small 40 GB hard drive. That's pretty nice!
