Don't be stupid.  There are a thousand reasons to keep using Windows.  I do
it because my software has to run on Windows (but I don't dual boot
anymore).  My mother does it because she needs support, and I'm 2500 km
away.  My in-laws do it because mother-in-law won't let father-in-law
install Linux - and a Live CD with a 5 minute + boot time doesn't cut it.
