I promise not to further flame the Linux vs Windows "thing", but it is fun to play with Linux on my own PC. I have a boot manager installed, with both Win XP and Red Hat Linux on separate partitions. I had grand illusions of testing my web site on the Linux partition, but it consumed more time than I could spare.
Admittedly, there's a cool feeling that comes from bringing a new operating system to life on my computer...kind of like creating a little virtual world.
I had GIMP installed on Win XP, but my girlfriend who is much more artistic than me prefers Paint Shop Pro. So do I.
