Then you should give it a try
Firstly, either download a Linux LiveCD and boot your PC with that in the CD drive (it'll boot into a fully functioning Linux environment that runs entirely from the CD and won't mess around with your Windows installation... when you're done, just reboot the PC without the CD and you're back to Windows) or alternatively use the free VMWare to install a Linux image that you access from within Windows. Both of these options are non-destructive to Windows - although you will suffer a slight performace hit compared to running the OS directly from the hard drive.
Then, when you're happy enough with Linux, you can go for the dual-boot option so that you get the full speed.
I'd recommend you give Kubuntu a try. If you go to their website, you can even order a CD and they'll ship it to you completely free of charge. Now that's service
Shame Microsoft don't offer a similar service.
