Definitely, except that those who have succesfully made the leap will tell you that linux is a viable mainstream alternative. However I suspect if linux cost $600 and windows was open source the arguments would be exactely opposite. .
Making the leap is the problem really. Math is easy once you've completed your Masters Degree.

I still don't agree that it's a good alternative. The operating system is only as good as the apps that run on them and no Linux is going to compete against PC or Mac. Until you can load your iTunes on it, run your Hallmark card maker software, and run the latest Dora game, then Linux is a good mainstream operating system
