Does it not also depend somewhat on the programs he wants to run.  Clearly, the
commercial programs will not run under Linux (at least not without additional
software).

Personally, I wouldn't touch a Windows product, even if it were free.  But then
I don't use software that requires me to borg-out my hardware.  That's just my
personal choice.  Each user needs to decide what is right for their needs (or
unfortunate dependencies).
