I still have my last PC, which I built many years ago. At one point it was my main computer. Windows XP. After I got my titanium PowerBook G4, it was relegated to being a backup server. Now it's sitting in a garage. I haven't booted it up for years. One day soon, though, I'm planning to pull it out and see if it will still run. Then I'm going to wipe all my data from it and sell it for about 50 bucks. If that. I don't miss Windows at all, and chafe every time I have to work on it. I only do that for good friends, now. I've managed to get most of my clients/friends who were using Windows to switch, and they're all very happy with their Macs. The transition can be discomfiting, but it's not as bad as going the other way.
