I still have XP dual booting with Ubuntu (even though i haven't used it since installing Ubuntu!)- but not for much longer.
As soon as i know more about this great OS that's me converted 100%

Went without linux for 6 months until i built my new computer and sli'd my graphics cards together. Nvidia doesn't have a driver supporting it yet so i use windows for a couple games. Other than that i got 64bit breezy with the SMP kernel for my dual core and i think it runs faster than windows does.......
In my case:
No windows games = full switch. Done!
Runnign smooth and nice, though it feels a bit a hard to learn unix in
a couple of weeks but with this forum I seem to manage.
i have a dual boot HP nc8000 laptop. i like to play doom3 and half-life2 occasionally and it's much easier (for me) to do this in XP. Now that i got suspend to ram going i haven't used xp for some time.
it's all good
I switched over to GNU/Linux when I first installed Redhat, that was a long time ago though, back in the 4.2-5.0 days... And that's when windows left my trusty Pentium 166MHz for good. Soon after the Redhat 5.1 days I switched to Slackware, then came the Slackware 4.x to 7.0 jump, changes that I didn't like. Since then I've been in a perpetual distro hopping stage, used Mandrake, Gentoo, Archlinux, Debian, Fedora, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and pretty much any other opensource OS (haven't given Dragonfly a chance yet), until I settled on Ubuntu.
wots windows? don't look back.
I installed Suse in my desktop but i did something wrong and deleted the windows partion, but now i'm happy because of that mistake ^_^
In my laptop I have WinXP and Ubuntu 5.10. Sometimes, I need to use some app of windows because of school, so I can't use only Linux : (
In the desktop I have Suse 10.0 and Ubuntu 5.10 with duall boot.
100% Linux on the pc and Laptop, then if thats not enough mac os x for the mac too

you can play games on linux.
Im relatively new to Ubuntu (coming from FreeBSD), and i gotta say, i like it.
I'm going to use Ubuntu to convert all my windows friends.
though, FreeBSD is still my fav OS. This might be the familiarity, and the resultant finer grain of control.
I've played with just about every flavour of linux out there, certainly all the popular ones. Nothing beats Ubuntu for ease of use. I've installed it on a few laptops and desktop machines and it loves all the hardware, with little tweaking needed. good stuff!
debian is a close second, but the reasons should be obvious
Nearly 2 years ago, McAfee subsciption came up for renewal.
That was the day Bill Gates lost another source of revenue
.........next best decision was moving from SuSE to Ubuntu.
