You're one of the small minority - most Windows users wouldn't consider 
anything else. Those of us who use Linux at all are in a minority of 
less than 5% I can no longer claim to use Linux exclusively since there 
is a Windows netbook and a Windows main PC in the house, primarily for 
my daughter's schoolwork - but there are also 5 PCs, 2 x NSLU2 and 2 x 
Sheevaplug capable of running Linux. Regardless, I really can't find a 
compelling use case for any other than Fedora developers to use Fedora - 
too unstable and ill supported.
