I've been MSFT-free at home for 6 months. I've got a Dell box running Linux and a PowerBook. I use the PowerBook for productivity. My scanner works fine, my printer works fine, etc. etc. etc. I use OpenOffice on the Mac when I have writing or spreadsheet-type stuff to do. It's not perfect but it works for me.

Granted the Linux box was more painful to set up, but I mostly use that machine for mass storage anyway.

The only thing I miss are games. Big deal, I spend too much time in front of the computer anyway...
