I'm microsoft free at home, and mostly free at work. I'm using Linux, and I teach an "intro to various operating systems" course at a local CC.
If you are considering Switching, I'd say keep your cheap hardware, check it against the various HCLs available for Linux, and put Fedora, Mandrake, or SuSE on instead of windows. Heck, just try one of the many bootable CDs that boot the full operating system, without even touching your harddrive. Mandrake and SuSE both offer a live cd, and there is Knoppix (one of the first/best) and all of its variations.
