 Volker, a lot of the software that I use is not available for other
operating systems. That includes my CAD software and my engineering
software, just to name a few. Whether I like it or not, I am stuck
with Windows.

 I tried a few variants of Linux, (I think that there must be a couple
of hundred distro's of Linux out there), and they all had serious
problems. Device drivers were lacking or they didn't work and there
were a lot of hardware problems too.

 Any other options?
