I plan an upgrade to FC6 soon and I expect that it will only be better. I dual-boot mine with the Windoze XP that came with the machine so I could maintain access to a few "windoze-only" applications that I have. These are finding their way to open-sourc/linux so I expect I will soon be able to become MicroSoft-free.
