Yeah well the truth is that at home I have 3 machines plus a laptop, 2 
machines and the laptop are linux-only (firewall-to-be, server and alarm 
clock(*) respectively) but the third machine spends pretty much all of 
it's time in XP because I like playing games, and you just can't get 
most of the games I play (C&C: Generals, Morrowind, Halo etc) for Linux. 
  Last time I looked Transgaming wasn't up to playing any of those.

Sad fact of life I'm afraid.  The market isn't up to making Linux all 
that good as a games platform just yet.  :(
