One of the more interesting realizations I've had over the past year has been just how good Windows is in terms of the customer experience. You may have to put up with all sorts of problems, but generally things do work fairly easily, and with great market penetration, much of the software is there. Take drivers, there are still more drivers for Windows than linux for any given thing. That being said, I've been using CentOS for a year. Once I got rid of Fedora last year, I've not wandered on my two machines. I played a bit with Damn Small Linux on an old clunker, and it's interesting. But no regrets about the change. Perhaps for you.
