I think that people should start to take a hard look at the Linux side of things. Aside from playing video games (Even though it is possible to make 90% of them work), there is nothing holding anyone back from doing any of the other work one would want to do on Linux. Besides, even OpenOffice 2.0 is free.

I run Gentoo linux currently on my main box as my main OS and dual boot it with Windows XP MCE 2005 so that I can get the best of both worlds. All my other boxes however are running XP, + both of my latops run XP, but I can bet you that I am not paying to upgrade them all to Vista when Vista arrives on the scene. They will either stay with XP, or be migrated to Linux.
