I've got the same setup I've been pretty much running for the past few years. One computer with Linux and one with Windows.

I did buy a new computer a few months back, and it came with XP, so I'm running XP rather then ME. But I only have it for playing games. If it where not for that I would run Linux only.

I discovered last time I was out of work that Open Office now opens and saves Word files well enough I didn't even need Windows for that. And for the last couple of years, Word was really the one thing I had to go to Windows for. So many companies default to Word and neither accept nor produce anything else that when I was looking for work in the past I had to have Word.
