It's a Microsoft world, and you get to live in it

As the Director of Technology at my job, I have several responsibilities. One of which is to oversee the rollout of Windows 7. This is an awesome responsibility because I am a POSIX compliant computer user at home. I use that term pretty loosely, but it fits for the most part. I love Linux, and I have used it for many years. I am currently pretty devoted to my hackintosh because it has the desktop application support that just doesn't exist for Linux. This is all changing though. As part of the Windows 7 rollout, I have to know, use and breathe Win7 before I overwrite all of my user's hard disks. So, for the undetermined future, I have decided to switch to Win7 at home. I have installed an evaluation version, because I am not sure I will continue to use it after I do the roll out at the office, but if I want to, I will be able to purchase the license then. As I have just started using it, I haven't installed any software yet. Well, I installed the Lightroom Trial, thats good for 30 days, and is as good of an opportunity to give it a test run as any. I also installed Firefox, but that's it at the moment.
So far, its fine. I used Windows for years, from 3.1 through to XP64, so I know what I am doing. Admittedly, there are some new features I don't know about, but, that's the purpose of this experiment. But to be honest, I find myself really just looking at my computer now, and feeling that its a blank slate that I really don't have a use for. This is probably not related to the Operating System, its probably just me deciding what's important in my life at this point.
I have gotten back into photography, I am just finalizing all of the moving into my new apartment and basically I am not sure that as I move forward I want to find myself chained to my computer any more.
