I pretty much use both Mac and Ubuntu on the desktop at this point.
Both have their weaknesses but combined, one can have a pleasant and
complete user experience. If Mac nails virtual desktops with Spaces in
leapoard my Linux desktop usage will probably drop even more. It is
hard to get used to the Mac UI especially if you are used the using the
keyboard for most everything. But with quicksilver to launch
applications and Virtue Desktop I can hobble along pretty effectively on
a Mac. Without those two, it would be unusable.
I still roll with Linux on the back end of course.
