It isn't far away now.

It still is, until Linux gets its drivers in order. I know its mainly the fault of the device manufacturers, but it's still a fact no matter what the reason is.

True, but that is a solvable problem, as are te other Linux shortcomings. Even now, I throw in a knoppix disk and it boots up fine with network and video card.

I'm just saying Linux is already "good enough" for guys like you or me or Bush2000 for many applications. I just don't think I want to bet against Linux long term, and I'm swapping myself over with a two year horizon. That swap isn't going to be for everyone, but for me and a lot of other people the water is fine.
