Linux seems to use less RAM than Windows does.
My VMs run smoother in Linux Mint using VMware than they do in Windows 7.
I'd guess there are less programs overall.
The real issue is whether you need to use "Windows Only" software.
For example:
Do you need to use Photoshop, or can you accomplish your tasks using GIMP?
Do you need MS Office installed, or can you get by with the online version?
If you only browse the Internet on your PC, Firefox works in Linux and Windows.
