If you have spare disk space, you can always install Linux on a
separate partition.  Most modern Linux distribution installers include
a way for resizing the Windows section of your drive, to make space for
Linux.

Alternatively, you could try out Linux using a 'Live CD', such as Knoppix.

Good luck, and welcome to Linux,
