Of course, installing Linux, in itself, requires a little bit of work (and, mostly, worrying whether it will work correctly in the end). But now that most of my gaming time is being spent on Dominions, I only ever boot up Windows when I want to sync my PDA [/QB]

Sorry. Extremely off-topic: ranting of a Linux-geek .

The Linux Version of Gimp is of course easy to install . I just didn't know anything about the Windows Version of Gimp.

Installing Linux is not hard for me neither, I've been doing it in the Last year on more than 10 machines . In the era of Redhat 5.1 (two years ago), things were more difficult and you always had to prepare for problems. But now it's so easy that I often can't even believe when it's done (20 minutes for a fresh install of Mandrake!).

Ha! For PDA, I used Agenda, which even run its own Linux distribution. I don't even need to boot into Windows to sync . Top this !

But to give Microsoft some credits, Windows installation is in general easier (though much slower). But I've never install Windows on unsupported machine, so, it's not a totally fair comparison.
