APCMag has a lenghty article on switching from Windows to Ubuntu. "When I was first given this task I had to sit and blink a few times, if for nothing else than dramatic pause. I'm a self-confessed Linux nut, as some of you may know, but even I'm cautious to do away with Windows completely. There's a reason I have a dual-boot Windows and Linux machine. Several of them, in fact. But have I just been conditioned into using Windows because of past experience, or applications, or file formats, or the myriad other reasons that make Windows a comfort zone because it's all so familiar?"

Joe I'm with you. I'll take Windows and Linux (Gnome) anyday over OS-X.
I had to help a client prepair a property valuation report where he was using a digital camera with audio snipits to log the various buildings are different sites. He was using OS-X and it was horrible for drag and drop of the images into a WP and listening to corresponding audio snipits to help ID the images.
Windows was much easier and led him to hiring a windows laptop to get the basics done.
I also use OS-X in a I.T. support/Digital Print role and find myself annoyed at how limiting the UI is.
STill, use what you're happy with but for me, it ain't OS-X and After testing Gutsy I have to say Gnome is great..

I've used OS X for a week or so, but I dislike the GUI. Actually, not just the GUI, the overall system. I don't remember a thing I liked better than other systems. I like Windows XP and Linux (Gnome).
