I've dabbled for years in linux. The only thing that keeps bringing me back to Windows has always been driver issues, specifically video drivers. I can't get native support for my laptop's widescreen without fiddling (not good) and I can't get out of the box native support for dual monitors on my desktop either. In the meantime I use a lot of open source Windows applications because they often do fit my needs. Don't ever get turned off by something being open source.
