After doing some more research, I'd wait.
It has some hardware/software/driver issues to overcome yet.
If you go Linux be prepared to do some deep geeking. The O/S works fine, but there are some hardware/driver/software issues that can be somewhat ... irritating for even an advanced user.
It's not something I'd recommend for someone who relys on their system foir income. You'd have to learn quickly, or get quite a lot of support until you are comfortable with it.
IMHO, in time Linux will become a serious player in the market.
