Transition safeguards.
If you use a Windows system and is going to try Linux, dual boot is recommended. This way, you will alway have windows if there is something that you don't know how to do with Linux. Also, if you use some crippled documents, like .doc, you will want to make sure that your Linux system is cappable of readding it before you get ride of Windows (the same applies to IE only web pages).
With time, Windos become useless (and your games dtart to run on Linux, if don't already). So, after you got used to Linux, you can decide by getting ride of Windows.
If you are going to install Linux on a enterprize machine, however, everything is different. You have to take a look on what sftware will be running, how trainning will be done and how expensive will be to maintain both systems (hint, linux is harder to establish, but much more easy to maintain), then you can make a decision.
