I hear ya. I'm ready to try a Linux variation get completely away from Windows and anything to do with the RIAA.

Try SUSE or Fedora Core (hell, try any of them). I've been Windows free for a long time and it is sweet.

I work for IBM and we are actively rolling out a Linux based desktop for our end users. While the adoption percentage is low right now, and there is still some work that needs to be done to find alternatives for a few specific applications (MS Visio and Project and Blackberry/PDA integration) that are not supported, most traditional office functions are already supported.

In fact, I'm already in a dual boot configuration mode.

I am MS-free. I can even play WMV files under Linux.
