I don't use Linux for essentially the same reasons Shaun mentioned. Compatibility. I realize there's a number of ways to "make it work" - but I just need it to work, and don't have the time to sit and look for alternative programs for all the tools I use on a daily basis. Plus, I REALLY don't want to develop a new workflow. @Shaun: I agree ObjectDock is a bit of a hog (nothing compared to Mozilla products), for me - it's 15mb is RAM well wasted. I've had the theme installed for a day or two now and it's really growing on me. I liked the look of it in Windows Media Player 10/11, and am happy to have it all over my system. @Alex: I’ve used Ubuntu, but not checked out Xandros.

Intel has very poor support for their video cards used in widescreen laptops. It gets tiring to use a laptop running at 1920x1200 resolution on a 15" screen. Very tiring. 2. iTunes is a (somewhat) necessary evil for iPod owners and it doesn't run on Linux. The alternatives IMO just plain suck. @ryan: The zune theme is a great find. I used it for a day and it makes for a nice alternative. The shades of gray fade nicely into the background. @alex: I’d switch from XP to Ubuntu in a second if not for two things:

For speed and efficiency I usually stick with Launchy. ObjectDock is nice, but is a resource hog and has its own flaws. For speed and efficiency I usually stick with Launchy.
