Which aspect do you find 'not 100%'? Clearly this can be true if you have to use some particular windows-only application (In my case I can only file expenses at work with IE due to a crappy 3rd-party website design, and have had reason to run a windows app once every couple of years for some reason or another - such as demoing tortoisesvn use in a windows environment for cavers at hidden earth this year, and running pockettopo) But wine and virtual machines (virtualbox) take care of this nicely. The point being that my life is a great deal more civilised running GNU/Linux daily and digging out an instance of Windows occaisionally when needed, than it would be the other way round. Obviously others might make different choices, and I don't want to overdo the prosletysing, but just wanted make clear that I can't agree with the idea that it's not a viable alternative desktop OS.
