I went from Windows -> Linux -> Windows with a Linux VM. Honestly Linux is just too much of a hassle to get it working right directly on the hardware - I always had issues with either drivers, sound, multiple monitors, etc. And while I'm sure these could be resolved one way or another I just don't have the time (anymore) to troubleshoot my own system every other month. Windows is perfectly fine for web browsing, text editing, gaming etc. - while I can program in a familiar Linux environment. Added bonus: whenever I change computers I can just copy the VM image to the new one and continue instantly.
