Nope. Got too much it's used for to spend the days and days it would take me to rebuild it, then fight through the headache of setting up Linux, and finding replacements for everying it does.

This is the barrier Linux acolytes just can't understand. I have decades of experience, was working in IT before Linux existed. Had my Unix classes in college. And I can't be bothered, I've got other stuff to do. And I know the risks I'm dealing with.

Now let's ask a regular user. They see no advantage and lots of headache to switch.
