What about using Wubi so there is the option to dual boot? I know this doesn’t decrapify Windows.

I tried ubuntu once. It was fine until i realized how many programs that i use on a regular basis that are microsoft based. Majicjack is one for example.

Regretfully i had to go back to the darkside

Good for you!. Ubuntu in my experience has and will continue to outperform Windows in every category except for gaming and that is just because windows was the only medium to run games on for so long. I don’t think Linux will put microsoft out of business any time soon but it is going to definitely push it to the wayside and stop them from dictating so much in the computer and software industry.

You can watch 30rock with Linux on hulu.com and/or the Linux Hulu client which provides a slightly better experience. (Using the standard Flash 10 installed by Ubuntu 9.04).

Can’t offer anything for Finale or Web Outlook though.

I _am_ a fanboy, and use Ubuntu 9.10 for almost all of my personal use. I too am very happy with it. But I do have to turn to Windows for three things:
-Watching 30 Rock on nbc.com
-Running Finale (doesn’t work under Wine last I checked)
-Using my employer’s web interface to Outlook
