I really do not feel like the *aggravation* of having to maintain any more Windows installations: low quality software that almost works and has to be fussed with 20 times more than a Linux installation. And customer who are never really very happy with the way things turn out, or the expense.
I'm running a small business specialized in 100% GNU/Linux and FOSS systems, aimed at professional users, e. g. folks who use a PC as a tool to get work done. So far, my clients are small town halls, public libraries, a private school. My networks are mainly CentOS on servers, and a personal mix of CentOS and Fedora on desktops. Right now, it looks like I'll use the SL6/minimal-GNOME combination as a base for the new desktops.
I think a significant number of my clients don't even know they're using Linux. My only contact with Windows is when I have to retrieve data from a rotten install before replacing it with a crisp and clean Linux install. Sometimes, I integrate the odd Windows XP client in a mixed network, but more often than not, I just tell my clients that I don't do Windows, and I (politely) advise them to see someone else. So far, only one client wanted to migrate back, and it was the sort of client I was glad to be rid of anyway.
