compatablity?
I've got a lot of W proggies that I'm concerned won't run in Linux. I've heard it's far more stable than W, far more secure, and not bloated with code that slows things down, making a comparable machine far faster than the same one running W, BUT, the problem remains--CAN I, or CAN'T I--run W proggies? If I can, but not ALL of them, what kind of average percentage of W proggies WON'T run in Linux?

If it's simply a minor risk of incompatibility, how big a "minor" risk is it?
