What OS are you running and why?

Need Windows for ActiveSync, for the purposes of Outlook and also Blackberry Desktop manager.

Also occasional gaming on my home computer.

Just an FYI: You don't need Outlook or ActiveSync to use your Blackberry. The Blackberry syncs in Linux to Evolution (a full-featured email client which is also compatible with Exchange, should you need that).

Also, while you can't play every game title in Linux many games run natively, more than that work via WINE and even more than that will play via Cedega (Cedega is a paid service... $45/year or $5 month, which they use to pay for the rights to bypass copy protection on game discs, etc.). For example I am currently playing the latest Guild Wars expansion while my wife has recently returned to WoW for the Lich King expansion. I am also playing through HL2: EP2 when time permits.
