"One day, while the boss was away, I shoved a spare hard-drive into my computer and installed Ubuntu 5.04. I managed to work for a month and a half before the Boss noticed I was using Linux - and that was only because he happened to glance at my screen. Half a year later, I am still using Ubuntu (now version 5.10) at work and I am more productive than ever."

Tell me how easy is to install windows on a brand new PC with only the install disc for the os.
Download and install each driver that you need to use(if you're lucky and the Windows Box installed your internet hardware out of the box)
Fetch the applications you need to "secure" your windows Install
Then try to fetch the Web for free(beer, speech, whatever) applications that you can use to start doing something productive.
I'm sure it sould take at least three hours on broadband(and a fast rig) if you know where to find the stuff you'll need.
Note, unless i'm using some specialized hardware it takes me about 20 minutes to get ubuntu up and running
