As it should be, the conclusion sums it all up very nicely.

I'm certainly going to put a Windows XP partition on Whakataruna for the
near future - but I've decided to keep the bulk of my hard drive - and most
of my day-to-day operations, in Linux. XP is going to be my OS for gaming,
audio loop editing, and Photoshop, but for everything else, Linux has
transformed into an attractive, utility-driven, customizable, and generally
easy-to-use interface that takes all of the virtues and none of the faults
from the other major OSes and gives it to the consumer for free.

In my experience, he will discover that he needs his Windows partition less
and less until he get to the point where he starts up Windows once in a
blue moon to see if it still works, but it's not at all needed for work.
