Ok,
First of all, I would like to thank all who replied. I got 35 replies
to this question, which is incredible.
I apologize that I have taken so long to respond, but I got distracted
with mundane real-life. Also, the responses kept coming. By the time
I had read one response and considered a reply, 5 others had appeared.
In order to provide anything meaningful in this I decided to
categorize the responses.
(There were multiple responses in some cases)
11 believe it is possible to go 100% Linux depending on various
circumstances or needs
6 replied that it is simply possible
5 replied that Windoz should only be kept for gamez
6 said they only use Windoz in the workplace because they had no other
choice
12 people declared that they are completely 100% Linux - most of those
said they would never go back to M$
The remaining 5 responses said that aside from one or two
applications, they were also 100%
Conclusion -
About as many people who are 100% Linux users say that it is possible
depending on certain circumstances. It also appears that some of the
replies were using Windoz as their gauge as to what their computer
needs are and if it is feasible to live without certain Windoz
applications. Some went so far as to advise that an assessment of how
a computer is used should be based on applications or tasks performed
in a Windoz environment and then compare this to the available Linux
applications. From there one could decide whether it was practically
feasible to operate in a completely Linux environment.
Based on the advice and suggestions that I received, I believe I have
an ideal environment for Linux and that a 100% switchover would not
only be possible, but would be a positive change.
Thank you for all the well thought out responses.

I'm glad you found all of our responses possitive and that you have made
up your mind!! You'll see it is a little bit awkward at first,
especially when you try to do something you are not so sure how to, but
know that's doable, but other than that, I think you'll be a very happy
Linux'er!
Welcome, and ejoy your stay!
