Basic Internet office box is supported out of the box. ... or any kind of
real server support.
But you will have trouble finding support for multimedia devices like TV
turners, ATI All in One cards, capture devices. Many games. I wonder about
cameras and USB devices, and scanners, etc.
Any undemanding windows apps, like for example Eudora, can be run in a
VMWare virtual machine inside Linux. This is one place where high end
workstations shine. I am running a dual 3.6 Xeon with 4 GB of ram. I can
run any OS in a virtual machine and don't notice any performance hit. You
could run any windows program, outside of games or multimedia, you wanted,
in a virtual machine.

Pretty much anything you want to do chances are that you can do it under
Linux. It just might not have all the features and ease of setup that
Windows does.
