The outline looks quite reasonable, but it seems to assume an
all-at-once approach to migration. My own experience and anecdotal
evidence from friends tell me that this is not always a realistic or
ideal method.
I would strongly encourage the approach of first migrating to Free
application software available for both Linux and Windows before also
changing the underlying operating system. This reduces the culture
shock and allows you to get used to one thing at a time without being
overwhelmed with change.
When finally changing the operating system, then, this approach also has
the advantage of decreased time from installing to productivity,
something that's quite important to the busier ones among us.
The standard lot of software I suppose would include Mozilla Firefox and
Thunderbird, Open Office, Gimp, Inkscape, Gaim, Vim, VLC, and others.
