I'll put my hand up -- kind of, anyway.  I don't use any Win 
games, but my kids do; otherwise we'd be in OS/2 or linux 
continuously.  But when my son asked for access to the internet I
set it up for him in linux only.  I figure that's the only way 
he'll get exposure to a non-Windows operating system.  I doubt 
he'll see anything but Windows in school anyway...
