Linux is also much easier to royally scerw up than Windows if you don't know what you're doing. You know - "with great power comes great responsibility." That's Linux. It's powerful, and as the admin of the system with that power, you need to have a lot more knowledge about how to use it. I'd recommend dual booting for awhile before considering giving up Windows.
Anyway, I'm gonna close this thread and allow further discussion in the sticky up top. You should find a lot of information in there.
