Already switched to linux. I still have one windows drive that I haven't booted for about a year. Haven't relied on virtual machines or anything.
I've turned a few older neighbors on to Linux when they complained that window updates caused their PC's to run too slow.
I'd tell them 'before you go out and buy a new computer, let me install Linux if you don't like it, you lose nothing. In the end, each one of them was happy their computer was running like new again.
