I would recommend not tying yourself to one operating system. I have been
trying to do embedded systems development on Windows NT and have found that
(apparently) most of this type of development is hosted on UNIX (that's
where the best tools are).
Have you considered getting something like "System Commander" so that you
can boot into any one of a number of OS's? This would make it easy to learn
about Windows NT and Linux on the same machine (for example).
