I'm heading that way at the moment.
Alas - my Printer HP590 - is a Win95 only device - so I have Star Office
on Win95.
Similarly Tesco home shopping only works online for Linux 8-(
I have to use BAAN Windows - but I have avoided using it for so long -
that I'd have to reinstall it - as Win95 bit the dust in between -
again!
Mind I'm thinking of replacing Star Office with Applix - I've been
experimenting with a 'free desktop' - but the MS Office filters on Star
Office are okay - but not great.

Funny - the only way I could get a Kriegspiel game was under Linux. It
plays an appalling game of Kriegspiel - alas.
Chess is more mixed - Windows has better commercial apps - but Linux has
the best free app support. Since the free programs play expert level or
above this isn't an issue for 99% of chess players.
I'm sure you meant the shoot them up variety.
