If I could safely do it, I'd love to get away from MS. But the dependance on the system at work and everywhere would probably cause me problems at the moment. What I want to do is try to do everything that I do now on Linux, and see whether I come across any terminal problems, if I don't, then there'll be a pile of billgates stuff in the bin. I'm particularly concerned about the way that MS is going, both its domineering in the market place, as well as the way the software is going - overpriced, underfunctioning, too fiddly, totally unstable etc. etc.
I highly recommend trying Linux out in VMware? So that way you can try out Linux in a virtual window and practise. If things goes wrong, you can find out why etc.
Just a thought :)
