h: oh wait.... GEEK 
I'd probably be just fine switching to linux full time if not for IE, and some of the webpage plugins like flash, shockwave, xdirector, etc etc. Might be able to get them working, but such a pain in the ass.

I have it and have watched it like 3 times. There's a good part in there, something to the effect that right now Linux only makes up 5-7% of all computers OS's in the world. (*snickers*apple barely has 3.5%)
They predict that once linux hits 10-15% that people will really start taking it more seriously and more things will become more mainstreem... like drivers for most hardware right out of the box.
