Is it worth using Linux if you cannot play games or play the kids software. Is there a windows emulator available? Or is it too much hassle and not worth it. I use Fedora at work and like it and have used Ubuntu too.

In scenario 'b' there are thousands of games available for linux. Just look up freshmeat.net, sourceforge.net or the fsf directory under the category 'games'

You may be able to still use your games or kid's software. There are windows emulators that can run under Linux. Look into those, as I am not totally familiar with them.
