with Windows if you need to communicate with most of the world.

And on what do you base that? I have no problem with email, news groups,

I could see your problem if you're mainly a CAD user. While several free
CAD programs are available for Linux, none of them, IMNSHO, are as good
as TurboCad. I drop into Windows XP for that. But if I wasn't so lazy,
I'd install WINE (Windows emulator) and run TurboCad in Linux
