I have a Mac Book, an iBook, two Dell laptops running Ubuntu (one is our media center and my wife uses the other for work), two dell towers (one I bought 5 years ago which still has XP; the other is a 10 year old 900MHz P3 which is my file server, running SuSE 11 and Compiz), and I have two OLPC XOs (two kids; one was a gift). That's 8 computers in the house plus a server I admin that's running CentOS. The one Dell running Windows has 1) an HP scanjet 4470c that isn't supported in OS X or SANE and 2) MS Money with 10 years of data. GNU Cash is on my todo list and I found an epson scanner on craigslist for $40 that I'm going to get tomorrow. Once I resolve those two issues I will happily abandon my Creative Suite 2 and never use Windows again. Meanwhile, people at Starbucks ask me how to get on the internet and while I help them with their HPAcerVaioToshibaGateway $500 special, I advise them to use Ubuntu instead of Vista. I give them the link to Ubuntu and I know they won't use it. One guy was so happy he bought me a coffee, even though I'm sure he will never follow that link. They use what ships with the computer.
