Joe:

With the introduction of F16, Totem either crashes or misplays (I've 
submitted bugs ... never heard back). There's a limit to how long I'll 
keep one machine on F14, so Windows will become media machine until 
Totem is fixes (or, if not Totem, whatever is the problem underneath).

Turbo Tax is Windows and, though I only need it once a year, I need it.

Cygwin has always been good to have around for test ports to see if its 
compiler looks at things differently (yes, it does, especially on 
optimization).

Still bump into the occasional website that works better under Windows/IE.

To me, that's pretty much a case of being off Windows except when its 
the right tool.
