I'm 100% Linux (Gentoo) @work. There is a WinNT Box standing besides me, but it is turned off since at least 1 year. I will install Gentoo on it in the near future, as our hole company (the technical team) migrates to Linux (free choice of distribution :-) ). @home I am 80% Linux (Gentoo), 5% HPUX (on a HP Apollo) and 15% Windows. The later is for gaming stuff. I do not use wine. My wife is 100% Linux, because she doesn't like gaming on PCs, and she feels much more comfortable with KDE than with the windows gui and software.
