Can't go wrong... Well it will minimise the errors
For the moment 99% of the applications I use under windows xp are freeware open source so I would have no problem jumping over *nix. The other 2 programs (2 multimedia encyclopedias) are windows specific and they work without problems in virtualised windows 98 so one less problem to deal with.
What really makes me stay for the moment in xp is the ability to run Orbiter and Dangerous Waters.
The day DW and Orbiter will work with *nix is the day I ditch XP from my pc forever.
