Yeah, funnily enough, I currently have a Windows 2000 virtual machine instance that I use from time to time in order to run a particular client's software. It runs more or less as well as a standard Windows install.

I would triple-underline programming as far as Unix-alikes go. I know some people cut their teeth on certain kinds of IDEs or Visual Studio or icky junk like that, but I first learned using vi, less, grep, and sed. I just can't imagine programming without them. It's like trying to breathe underwater or something.

How about a recording studio (http://ubuntustudio.com/wiki/index.php/Welcome,_Musicians%21)?

[Iandefor]

Look stylish. XGL/Compiz all the way!

[briancurtin]

[Arktis]

You can masquerade as a PC running windows, in many ways. Both locally as in the appearance of the gui and various applications you can run through wine/cedega (if done properly using scripts and tweaking fonts and appearance), and externally as in appearing to be a windows box to the world wide web.

It's fun and educational! :rolleyes:

You can take virtually anything that you see running and extend or modify it to your heart's content.
