The only reason you need Windows with Comcast is to make it easier to
deal with support calls.  As anyone here will tell you, Linux works
fine with Comcast once your service is established.  All you need to
do to get Linux to work with comcast is configure your ethernet card
to obtain an IP address dynamically, using DHCP.

If comcast is the only thing preventing you from running Linux
full-time, then there's no reason at all...  But if you don't know
networking well enough to fake the answers to Comcast support's stupid
scripted questions (and to know for certain that it's nothing on your
side that's causing your problem), then you'll want to keep the
partition around only for support troubleshooting purposes.  Aside
from that, you need never use windows again...
