I must say that installing Win is much MUCH easier than installing Linux!!!
I can do multiple Fedora installations in less than 20 minutes, it can take over an hour to do a decent Windows installation and bring it up to date.
I just installed SuSE 9.2 by FTP on a 500k ADSL line. It took most of a day for a 3.5GB installation, requiring practically no intervention from me beyond the obvious stuff needed for Windows as well (like setting up network names). As others have noted, there's no special skill needed in sorting out drivers, no repeated reboots and no need to ask Microsoft's permission to do the job in the first place. I keep a Windows 2000 partition for the decreasing number of (mainly multimedia) tasks I can't yet persuade Linux to handle, but with every new release they get fewer.
