A recent poll by The Inquirer asked, "Which operating system will you use after Windows XP support ends on 8 April?"
Among respondents, 33 percent said they will move to Windows 7, 17 percent will stick with XP, 13 percent will switch to Linux, 11 percent will get Windows 8, and 5 percent said OS X.
So most will switch to Windows 7, but many would rather stay with Win XP without support than switch to Linux.

or database?+ intitle:Access+inurl:Linux [google.com]

I'm shocked that as a Linux user you haven't encountered pointers to that site before.
[LibreOffice's and OpenOffice's] database requires Java
Keep an eye on LibreOffice. They're working like Hell to get rid of that dependency.
LibreOffice Calc also recently got a new engine.
