Linux at first sight is "very limited" and not the easiest OS to run. This is why there have been some more recent strives into distros like PCLinux, ReactOS, FreeDos, and others to form some type of bridge between the two platforms. There are Windows based programs that will run on some if not all distros with Linux utilities like WINE.
The main problem there is the lack of the ability of the XP installer to see and delete the current fedora partitions assuming a swap was created along with the root partition. But one execellent tool that Linux creators left lying that's free is the GPE. Some of the newer releases have made things a little easier for Windows users to get hooked on that OS however. Many of the live for cd distros include easier to use installers.
