Pascal and I are radicals :) the only time I ever bought a Windows
license was as part of OS/2 3.0 in 1994 or so.  Since then I've only
ever bought computers without an operating system installed :)

Anyway, you can install Debian on Windows, see Cooperative Linux[1] and
various virtual machine solutions.  You do not need to wipe out your
hard drive.
