Ah alas, I have yet to atain true believer status, Unix on Server, windows on desktop, the two are not one. I am a two OS believer, BUT....
BUT....
BUT....
I repeat myself because this is a great big BUT...
If all you do on a computer is surf, email, do Word processing, maybe a spreadsheet...
DO NOT blow money on windoze. Just about any Linux distro today is an easy install, comes with open office and a bunch of other stuff, Both KDE and Gnome(see footnote) are easy to navigate and use.
Do it. It's free. If you are not using high end specialized apps, or using the "togetherness" office features....
There is no reason for you to use windows in any of its flavors...
Footnote: KDE and Gnome are Graphical User Interfaces, they let you access programs and files in the windows-like familiar environment. The difference: Where the Windows desktop is embedded into the operating system, in linus, it is not, giving you the choice of different environments.
