The problem with this, is that Linux _isn't_ better than Windows for
gaming and Web browsing.  In fact those are probably the only two places
where Windows is better.  There does not exist a stable, standards
compliant web browser for Linux.  There are currently no more than 10
commercial games available for Linux.  3D graphics support is still in
it's infancy.  In my experience games in Windows are one of the few stable
things (probably becuase because people rarely multi-task while gaming)
and IE 5 is probably the best product Microsoft has ever produced.  I'm up
for Micro-bashing as much as the next guy.. but not when it's just plain
wrong.
