I too used to think of myself as a windows "power user" till I faced a linux desktop installation and started to use it...:P
Anyway, installing almost any linux flavour today is as easy as windows (disclaimer, I'm not a linux "power user"); granted you'll have to do your research and learn to change the way you used to do things. That's the scary part, you'll have to "work" and "learn" again...:P
I'm still a windows user but I got a swappable disk that I use to boot on kubuntu and do almost anything I can do with windows except playing (and that's because I don't play a lot anymore...); I'm installing kubuntu, Mint and others in friends desktops so they don't spent money on a new system with the latest and bloated hardware/software, and you know what? they have a bloody new working/fast system, they surf the net, do office work, watch movies, record music... as they did with windows... even their kids use linux almost better than I do.
My advise: install any ubuntu flavour and play with it, without trying to do serious work, just for the sake of playing and learn...

This so called "cybersecurity advisor" is either naive or a blatantly liar...
And you leave out a lot of professionals... Photographers, designers, musicians... lot of niches still for the "dying" desktop.
bloody slashdot 2.0 and the Ajax-my-ass everywhere... but you are right!!!!!!!!!!
Pitty it can be read by the rest of the world, and they even dare to express their opinions!

I am a wXP 64 user... sorry for that, but I've learned how to deal with those pesky friends/familiars: Get them an Ubuntu live usb pendrive.
YMMV, but I've watched 10 hours of video on a single charge on an iPad. Apple's actually pretty good about battery life estimations.
Lies!
but a 10 hours vid proving that in youtube would help!!
I promise I'll watch it...
If I don't fall asleep...
and with "sensible erection" you mean...?
Just for the record, I'm not the same AC commenting earlier.
How is it possible?!!! you got the same god-fucking nick, liar!!!
I think your own neolithic memory might need enhancement, or maybe some electrical shocks.
May I recommend an exquisite lobotomy or, even better, a "délicieux" trepanation?
Yes it does. Firefox seriously sucks on Mac OS X, no matter what you OSS fanboys want to believe.
but, but, I don't have a Mac, can't test FF in OS X!!! damn, I can't counteract this fallacy!!!!
We should be lobotomized too; the bloody brain's ability to store music, images, stories...
What is Super Mario Bros?! are there metabarons to kill?
....they immediately charge back if the service is not up to par, etc. etc. It's a hell dealing with Europeans.
