I've never had to use Windows as my 'everyday' Operating System. I went from MSDOS to a UNIX desktop in 1991, then from a UNIX desktop to a Linux desktop in 2001. I haven't missed Windows because it isn't necessary at all for me. Having said that, I sometimes find that specific pieces of software are more convenient to use than the Linux ones I usually use. Ferinstance, my HP MFP has a multi-page feeder that I use occasionally for scanning multi-page documents. So I run the HP Scanning Software in a Windows 7 instance in VirtualBox under Linux Mint for the five minutes or so then close it down. For all my normal scanning and printing, I just use my Linux Mint.
