I've been doing my best to use Linux for everything. The two Apps you mentioned are why I still run Windows in a dual boot, and after Windows 7 came out, I spend a significant amount of time in it. Lately, I've been trying to stay completely away from Windows, but there are a few reasons I can't. Photoshop isn't as big of a deal with me because the little graphic work I do can be accomplished in the Gimp. IE is only a problem when I don't use a VM. I would like to be able to watch Netflix streaming in Linux. Finally, I have to use 64 bit because of the amount of physical memory on my system, yet adobe discontinued support for 64-bit Linux. When you stop and think about it, Adobe is the primary reason more users aren't using Linux. I have to say, I’m a lot like you. I’ve been doing my best to use Linux for everything.
