The big problem for me as a Linux/Unix newbie is what the hell to do
when things don't work. Right now that renders it impractical from a
work perspective. I need stuff to "just work" - when to make the OS
do that causes me more grief than with Windows that's when I begin to
wonder.

The strides Ubuntu in particular has made in the 2 years since I last
seriously looked at it are amazing - but for me it still doesn't seem
"ready for prime time" unless you are a Unix hack.

By those rules I'd submit that Windows isn't ready for prime time unless you are a Windows hack.
And OSX.... you get my drift.

How many hours of experience do you have fixing issues on other platforms? Of course Linux is not
going to be as easy until you have at least some kind of familiarity with it.
