Yes Nanor, go for Linux (or if you're rich go over to OSX, not that you'd be able to play games, or use your current pc but hey!) with Linux, I think you'll find the more heroic members of THN who live in server rooms "cough" Haven "cough" will probably be able to sort you out!.
Also THN tech goes live in the new year! woot!

Open Office can be used instead of Word, Excel, etc.
Firefox and Opera are good alternatives to Internet Explorer.
Core Media Player and Media Player Classic are good alternatives to Windows Media Player.
Trillian is an alternative to the MSN, Yahoo, AOL, and ICQ messengers.
OpenGL can be used instead of DirectX in some games.

By window's explorer you just mean the system of filing documents right (as in my documents etc) that's standard on any OS. And to get rid of it, you'll have to get rid of windows!

I use total commander http://www.ghisler.com/ its works the same way as the old norton for dos dunno if that means anything to you. You basicly have two windows that you use to copy, delete etc between. it got ftp and network and handles packed files like a dream etc all in one program. And there is a shitload of plugins that will make it do anyting you want it too
Its the single program that i use most. Just love that little sucker

So, you're trying to replace everything thats pretty much vital in the windows OS... Why dont you just replace the OS itself?
Slackware, Fedora and Ubuntu are all good "ready-to-go" OS's based on Linux.. Give it a go! Easy, fast, free!

Before going to all trouble of changing to an OS that you know nothing about (linux) and potentially hating it more than windows you should try a live DVD from either ubuntu, gentoo or knoppix (knoppix is prefered for live CD/DVD's). This lets you boot from CD whilst leaving your existing windows installation intact so you can have a look at linux without having to install it first.
But, that asside from the original post it looks like he wants to replace everything apart from the OS ...
The only things I have to add are a my own preferences for media players under windows - foobar2000 for audio and VLC for anything video related.
