Well, the rule in my house is, you have to use Linux unless there's no
possible way to do what you need to do with Linux.  ie, playing Total
Annihilation, Final Fantasy 7, or Flight Simulator all require Windows,
and are the sole reason for the continued existence of Win95 on my home
machine.  I've even gone so far as to put a LILO password on the
dos/windows boot image so that my wife MUST use Linux to surf the web.
