I have to deal with clients' Windows (98, 2K, XP) during the day so I
choose not to do so after hours. Well, actually, I let the customer
choose, so I *will* install Windows if they want it but at 95USD/hour,
most go elsewhere! ;-)

I just prefer to solve their problems with Linux -- which is generally
do-able since most of these clients are home users with no real
reliance on anything uniquely M$. When all of our day clients are moved
over to Linux, I might not mind working on Windows after hours . . .
oh, who am I kidding? I'll *always* detest working on Windows! :-)
