39. You can always dual boot and/or

use something like WINE to run your Windows programs in Linux. I do both. Just something to keep in mind and maybe tryout when you get the extra PC.

The only problem is that you can use NTFS files in Linux, but you can't write to the NTFS partition. At least not yet. And Windows will not recognize the Linux filesystem*. So what I did was create a FAT32 partition so that I can access and write files in both operating systems.

*I forget the name ,but there is a Windows program that will read your Linux partition.
