I knew I had to find a Linux solution to that before I'd feel comfy switching. I found WINE can accommodate Photoshop 8 and Dreamweaver 8, and that GIMP is a much better image manipulation program than I gave it credit for.

Everyone else has either jumped ship, or want to but don't have anyone available to help them land in another ship. 1 The people with a vested interest in Windows because they make (at least part of) their living from it. 2 The clueless users who are unaware how their PC works......and why they're always having to spend money and time fixing it. 3 Gamers who have no choice until developers start treating Linux / UNIX and Apple Mac's with equal status......and don't want to risk the next version of their current FPS to be unavailable on Windows (as if that's gonna happen).
