Linux user here. C'mon if you people use Windows and are interface addicts the new releases of Mandrake, SuSe or even RedHat will do the job.
The main problem is still software migration to this OS. You already have word processoring and excel-like software as good as you would find in the Office package. Regarding big software houses developing for it: Corel already doing it, discreet [AutoCad, 3D Studio Max], and there was mention of Adobe soon following. If it happens, I will go OpenSource 100%.
You could even make an analogy between the P2P communities and Music Industry...
It's not just a question of cheap way to work [hell, why do Russian/Chinese crackers exist?], it's also because that's the way that your work environment should work: scalable, 'tweakable' and personalized according to your own needs, and allowing those who can't afford to acess technology.
