I may be reading this long after it was posted, but I am currently using Lindows 4.5 on one of my partitions. After two weeks, I don't even hardly touch my Windows XP Pro partition (except to modify my website through Front Page to save time in the GUI of FP vs. FTP Progz).
I am very impressed with Lindows (By the way, they changed the name to Linspire).
I am semi-new to Linux - played with Red Hat for a while unsuccessfully, but Linspire is helping me to learn a lot about it. I can now navigate the command line and install programs in command as well - just because Linspire was easy enough for me to use to get started in figuring things out.
Another great feature for you Linux/Windows users is Win4Lin which lets you run Windows 98 and below simeutaneously with Linux at the same time. I have never seen Windows boot up so fast or run so secure!
