I am always on the hunt for a great new replacement for windows, and although nothing could probably replace it 100%, I have found something that is probably 95%.

Check out XandrOS it is a Debian based linux OS that from right out of the box is setup to work with windows boxes. I had problems with it at first but it was due to bad hardware in my desktop, I loaded it on my laptop and have been messing with it. The deluxe version for $89 comes with Codeweavers CrossOver Office which allows you to run windows apps on a linux machine.

Upgrading, maintaining etc is all a snap. Check it out if you are interested http://www.xandros.com , another one that is supposed to be good yet I have not tested is Lycoris http://www.lycoris.com.
