I dual boot on a fairly low spec laptop in both Ubuntu 9.04 and Windows XP. I still haven't *quite* convinced my wife to fully migrate because I/we cannot find an acceptable iTunes client (although SongBird is getting there)......but thats IT! There is nothing else that ties us to Windows.
From power on to browsing with Firefox:
Windows 300+ seconds, Ubuntu 60 seconds - no contest
I fail to understand why anyone would actually pay for an OS?
