I am loving Lucid Lynx. I dual boot it with Windows 7 on my notebook and it runs great. These days, I find myself booting into Linux on my laptop more often than Windows 7--however, for the really heavy duty media features, I really still need Windows.
I wish someone would come up with a way for Linux to work with the Homegroup feature in Windows. Right now, if you try to get into a share that's not on the Homegroup, you're out of luck. I have a really old Dell XP box on my home network, so for now I've just copied all my music to that tower and run a share off of that for my Linux box.
But I digress. As someone else said, I don't know why people pay for software anymore except for the really specialized stuff. Ubuntu is a perfectly viable end user experience now. There is an illusion that you have to use shell commands in Linux to do anything--the Software Center in recent versions of Ubuntu has made that completely false. You can probably run Linux without ever having to type in a single command. AND you don't have MS or Apple controlling your license or the version you can run, or blah blah blah. Mac lovers can make it look and act more like a Mac. Windows lovers can make it look and act more like a PC. It's a beautiful thing.
Anyway, yeah. Loving it.
