APCMag has a lenghty article on switching from Windows to Ubuntu. "When I was first given this task I had to sit and blink a few times, if for nothing else than dramatic pause. I'm a self-confessed Linux nut, as some of you may know, but even I'm cautious to do away with Windows completely. There's a reason I have a dual-boot Windows and Linux machine. Several of them, in fact. But have I just been conditioned into using Windows because of past experience, or applications, or file formats, or the myriad other reasons that make Windows a comfort zone because it's all so familiar?"

How can you be a linux-nut if you dual boot? Sure, I have XP on my machine, but if I can help it, I never boot it. Basically, if I need something from Windows (which is relatively rare) I can use VirtualBox instead.. Dual booting takes way too much time...
And frankly, after 2,5 years of KDE, I find the Windows GUI just inefficient and limiting.
