I then began bringing up the utilities for my work. The first one took two days to get working. The second took 3 weeks, and I ended up having to go to the top version of windows 7, an additional 100+US$. I haven't upgraded to F15 yet, but the other tools I use on a daily basis are all installed and working, and the reload time to get everything going on F14 was 8 hours, not counting the download time. If you add the download time and the upgrade time over DSL, it took a total of 23.5 hours. I routinely use over 30 applications on Linux, and only 6 on windows. So guess which I prefer. My Linux systems are still the best in my work, in my hobbies, and only fall short in gaming, but mostly I haven't looked up any Linux gaming sites, because I only really like one game, Age of Empires III, which I play on Windows by dual booting my computer.
