My main thought was to get off of my NT machine at work and try and get Linux running to do my 
work.  Unfortunately, we
are going to be using some Visual C++ 6.0 in our development.  Also, I'm stuck using a Access DB 
application.  I'm sure
more Windoze-based tools will be dictated to me.  Outlook, Word, everything M$.  It may be asking 
too much to try and
merge so much into Linux.
