I want to hear how it goes.  Obviously there is no shortage of people here
that will tell you it will be painless to switch.  And it may be, but
it depends on what you now use windows for.   Keep your windows for a
little while you
might need it.

And please post how the transition is going along as you make your way.
My hunch is that it will not be painless.
