Many, many people have done this already, but I don't think there is a
"guide" per se - every users requirements will be different.

However, I guess the sensible thing to do would be to list the
applications you cannot live without (Word, AutoCAD, Photoshop,
Simlogic, My Little Pony simulator, etc) and ensure you have suitable
replacements. Once you have all the bases covered, make your default
boot partition your Ubuntu partition for a few months. Once you're
weaned completely, GpartEd to zap the windows partitions entirely.

Thanks,

'My Little Pony Simulator'...  Lol.  Removing windows is easy (it's a
separate drive), but the advice you gave is sensible.  I've had Ubuntu
as my main boot for some time, pretty much using Win for gaming, but I
should be more productive :-)

Maybe I could disable the Windows boot option and see how it goes...
