Back in the early 90's when I worked for the Navy they gave me an assignment: Find out what Linux is, download it, pick three computers from the lab and set up a linux network on them.
Back then I only had 3 1/2 diskettes which only hold 1.44 megs of data. I downloaded the entire Linux OS onto about 30 diskettes. I think X-Windows had just come out at the time and I could set up multiple desktops on a single 14" monitor.
It's pretty fun and the only real problem with Linux is that many windows-only programs require some kind of emulation software to run on Linux.

Every "windows-only" program will not run on Linux. That's why it's windows only
There's always ways around things though.

Sure install a VMware client inside your Linux install to boot up Windows XP while inside Linux. That would work. Wouldn't be useful for gaming though. Linux and gaming aren't compatible.
