Here we go again. A totally pointless response to the question.

Maybe Linux comes with a requirement for users to churn out this
answer at every opportunity.

I wouldn't consider it pointless. I run Windows throughout (XP, XP MCE,
Vista, 7 and WHS 2011) and don't use Linux at all (I've tried a few
times, but not really gone anywhere with it), but as he's going to have
to wipe everything anyway, he may as well consider trying Linux while he
has the chance.
