Hell there is even a program to control two pcs with one mouse keyboard!
Anyone have any advice on making the convert?

I run windows 7 as my main currently. I do absolutely everything except gaming and photoshop in a linux virtual machine (running Linux Mint Debian)
I could live without photoshop if I had to but my machine is plenty powerful enough to run my VM, and not having to reboot when i want to take a break and do some gaming is nice.. so while I haven't dropped windows completely, 95% of my time is spent in my linux VM.
No problem at all dropping win and going with lin. Sooner or later microcrap is going to lose it's dominating hold on game developers and once that happens, opengl will be used more and more... which means native games being run in linux... and when that happens, it's all over for windows imho.
