I took the plunge and installed a second hard drive into my computer, and 5 minutes later, installed Ubuntu 7.04 on it. I really didn't expect it to be so cool! It's so much better organized than Windows and has a lot of free apps and games. Here's a list of some Windows apps and their replacements in Linux. And may I remind you, Linux CAN run Windows apps!

• 
  Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) - OpenOffice
  Quake/Doom - Open Arena/Sauerbraten
  CD/DVD Burners (ie Nero) - Built in to OS (uses folder, and then you click burn)
  iTunes - Rhythymbox Music Player (to play songs)/gtkPod (to sync with iPod)
  WMP (for videos) - MPlayer
  Any 3D modeling program - Blender3D
  Limewire (already made for Linux too)
  Firefox/Opera (already made for Linux too)
