Don't get me wrong but Linux isn't really known for running some professional programs (like Photoshop, Cubase etc.), that many people make a living from. Also there are incompatiblity issues with some web cameras and other minor gadgets that really piss the hell out of potential switchers (me!).
Guess it depends on the kind of user you are.
p.s. For the record I love Linux and have tried it but no switching anytime soon

Right there with you - I'd love to switch to Linux, but until I can get Adobe Creative Suite native on it then it's a no-go. (and to preempt those who would say that GIMP is a viable alternative to photoshop, I do don't use photoshop - I'm talking about Fireworks and Flash; and even if I did use photoshop switching to GIMP would be career suicide)

Don't get ME wrong... but I wouldn't let you touch my Linux boxes. Most of your '...Professional programs that people make a living from...' were programmed IN Linux.
I'm not starting the 'my **** is bigger than your ****' argument again, just saying that because you couldn't take the time to research and configure it to work the way a standard, generic, install of windows works you shouldn't infer that it's a toy and not for production use. Even Microsoft uses some RH servers...
