It's a personal choice, and depends on the apps and how much your 
work-life revolves around them.

If your company or dept ran certain Windows-only 3D or engineering 
software, or was heavily dependent on Excel for finance and stats and 
decision making - and there's a LOT of it out there - you might choose 
to run Windows only at home, too.

But as I surf around I notice a steady increase in commercial apps with 
Windows, Linux and Mac versions, instead of just a Windows version as 
was so common in the past.  This is a good development.

Maybe YOU could get a Linux job, even before Feeb!
