"Apart from games and some specialist and often hardware-related applications (like SatNav updaters, I'm looking at YOU TomTom, but I gather Garmin are just as bad) there isn't much software that actually needs Windows apart from corporate/enterprise applications written using Microsoft Office. There are Linux-based alternatives for most other things. Dual-boot if you must."

What about all the CUSTOM jobs you tend to see in businesses? No one wants to plunk the big money down to replace it, and most of them can't afford it, either. If it means living dangerously, then they don't have a choice. It's live dangerously or they're already dead.
