FYI, I have been using Linux exclusively for so many years I can't remember, and whatever occasional problems I had at times in the past with browser compatabilities and such have pretty much vanished in the last couple of years. Furthermore, when I need some new piece of software, I just type "install <what-i-need>" (or just check a box from the HUGE list of available free software on the friendly graphical version) and a minute later with no further intervention it's installed and ready to use.
As far as I'm concerned, the only thing it's missing at this point is the pricetag.
