I’m considering this done, because I’m as switched as I’m gonna get. I run Linux on my home laptop and about 90% of the time at work. I’ve been on Ubuntu since before 6.06, and I’ve stuck with it despite horrible upgrade experiences to 6.10 and now to 7.04. I run windows dual boot still, and even have a version of windows running in VMWare. But the Linux momentum is there and I haven’t given up on it yet like I have in the past. I’m learning a LOT from using it. The learning curve is definitely steeper than most people will be willing to handle, but has definitely been worthwhile as I feel a lot more comfortable with a lot of widely used technologies (web servers, command lines, text editors, compilers). I really hope Dell really does start selling Linux preloaded, because getting it OEM will really spur adoption and development.

And I will slowly convert you with cool bouncing icons and sleeping dragon shutdown logos if I can help it :-)
