I will love the day when i can forget about Microsoft altogether, and simply fastboot into my linux OS. I'm saying, completely not use windows anymore.

When Linux started becoming popular, i figured/hoped that eventually, you could do this without sacrificing compatibility and losing the use of any of your programs. Essentially using Linux as your primary workstation OS.

Are we there yet? Are we kinda there yet, or is this never gonna happen?

The only thing i use linux for currently is GPartEd(Gnome partition Editor), which i boot up from USB. I love how fast it and clean it is. On my todo list is to dual boot in some flavor of Linux and start learning it, but to date, i haven't done shit. ='(

Would appreciate anyones thoughts comments on the subject1

If you want to play games on your PC, you'll need to use Windows in some form. That'll be the case for a while to come, I think.

I go the other way around - you can install CygWin, which is a port of many linux tools to Windows. You get a lot of the power tools that linux provides without needing to dual boot.

If you don't want to play games, there's not much else to stop you from switching to Linux right now. Lately I've been considering putting a distro onto my HTPC box.

But then again you wouldn't be able to make use of the wonders of Microsoft Office.

i haven't used office since grade 7.

There's OpenOffice. Some like it more than MS Office, some like it less than MS Office. I think most can agree that at least OO Writer and OO Calc are pretty competent.
