OS Ready status, according to independent research conducted by AIII (Aiken's Imho International Incorporated)
Linux:
DVD video: 99% (-1% because of DRM and other closed stuff, which rarely used)
Web: 99% (-1% because of ActiveX, doesn't matter unless you go for bank services Online)
Games: 10% (directX support is pathetic, but some games go multiplatform these days, ie Doom3, UT 200x).
Win NT 5.x (xp or 2k)
DVD: 80% (-20% because _really_ good dvd soft is nonfree)
Web: 20% (-80% due to spyware, trojans, viruses, blackholes....)
Games: 99% (-1% because linux games don't run in windows
).
