The only other reason I might keep a windows machine would be flight

This subject has been on my mind for quite a while.

I use Ubuntu 8.04 and have had some success by installing WINE. This
allows me to use IntelliCAD , from http://www.cadopia.com/ (similar to
AutoCAD).

It doesn't work perfectly but it is a lot better than nothing.

Hope this helps.
