And... goodbye Microsoft!

Took the plunge yesterday... tried to set up a dual-boot Windows/Linux for a'while, got tired of driver issues. Then realized I had a 64-bit Ubuntu DVD I picked up for free from my new job (yay for Linux geeks keeping stockpiles!) and decided to just say 'screw it' and give the automated stuff a try.

Um... wow.

City of Heroes. Almost worked out of the box, DID work fully after I manually upgraded to the latest Wine instead of the included-on-DVD version that was about 6-8 months out of date.

Steam, and Half-Life 2. Again, worked out of the box. No issues playing Team Fortress 2.

Again... wow. Holy crap. Screw dual-boot, Linux Just Works these days. =O.o=
