Yup. I am a very early Linux adopter (ran a Fidonet node on 0.99), but I decided to just leave XP Pro on my new laptop, because it's just soo much easier - no messing around with drivers that either don't work or are outdated, MSN just works, there's decent graphics software available (as long as Gimp is 8 bit don't ask me to call it decent), etcetera etcetera. And Cygwin+putty do a nice job of supporting my sysadmin thingies.

Besides, current Linux desktops are just as bloated and unusable as current Windows desktops. The difference simply isn't worth the effort.
