I liked Ubuntu until they started with that Unity crap. I'm not sure why they think a tablet-style UX is suitable for desktop machines with a keyboard and mouse. Also, it seems some Linux distros are becoming as bloated as Windoze these days. I suppose that's the price of attracting new users. If my time had no value, I'd switch to Arch Linux.
EDIT: On topic - I will never use Windoze again. After years of suffering, that's one of the best things about not having a boss. I can use whatever OS and software I want. *Insert evil laugh*

Now back on topic:
Windows 8. This is a tablet OS. With a desktop mode. Awesome, I always wanted a tablet with desktop mode (just like easy debian). The desktop isn't disruptive in the tablet workflow, it's just another app.

But people should atleast consider to checkout KDE(kubuntu or opensuse edition) if not already done, so they know that Windows8 is not something fresh, Microsoft just copy suff here and there over and over again and then say "Hey we come here with something new for u"

yaa, what i can tell you about it... you will need it again, although you don't like it, depends on your custumors of course, but don't put too much hope in that...
i am my own boss and there are too many "apps" i need everyday:
Outlook
Photoshop
Excel
Acrobat
Word
InDesign
and on and on and on... and there is just no alternative LINUX-way... i really tried id, but it does not work... OpenOffice and Gimp and stuff are good, i know, but there are many limits...
customers want their stuff and they get their stuff....
Edit: and please don't tell me about Thunderbird or Lotus Notes, i tried that too and it does not work with customers overalll...
