Yeah i know that it is possible to run some aplications under linux, but Wine cant really be trusted, as soon as a new version is released the things that might have worked the last 10 updates might just stop working again, and for a NORMAL user its not really "easy to do" imo.
I agree that it is an alternative but you have to be prepared to spend several hours to get things to work and also might not be able to get all the plugins/features you would otherwise get within minutes under windows.
Personally i just started using linux so im no expert, but i would say i know a lot more about computers then the average guy (i work with tech support).
So far my experience is that linux is a much better OS then windows, but you need to be motivated enough to work your way thru the problems that will, eventually, arise if you plan on using the same aplications as in windows.
But yes, its a very valid alternative, and in some specific cases, a better one, i agree :)
