Actually, I like having Linux to play with on my computer for the same reason I have a Mac laptop these days -- I just like being able to use something currently supported that has fewer ties to the "Beast of Redmond." Linux is easier and easier to use these days, and there are a few office suites out there that do a decent job of reading Microsoft document formats. You have to be a dyed in the wool technogeek to want to abandon Windows entirely, though. Dual-booting makes it possible to explore the Linux world while being able to fall back on Windows on the same computer.
