If I knew what I was doing better, I'd go along with you on this one.
Would all my Windows software work with it, Word, Excel etc and other
windows applications?

If you don't know Linux and are reluctant to install it then get
yourself a copy of knoppix which runs from the cdrom.

I know quite a few that run the Mandrake (Mandriva?) dialect of the
stuffed penguin too and they seem quite happy with it.
