Yeah, don't get me wrong. I would probably love to go Linux, even though I think Windows 7 works great. But I like the philosophy and customizability of Linux.
It's just that it's not entirely my decision. My clients require Outlook support (is there any app with full compatibility regarding scheduling/appointments etc?) and I need to be able to send, receive and work on psd:s and Illustrator files, since they are the defacto standard. I suspect the compatibility of the apps you list is not 100%. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Agree on Adobe prices, they are ridiculous. |

Certainly good news.
I played and completed Portal the other day, on Kubuntu, using wine.
No problems at all. Very playable, decent resolution and all. Strange thing was I later tried it on an XP machine and it crashed leaving the first room! |

Visual Studio? Just use the million development tools on Linux. If you want C3 it's called Mono 
Outlook = Evolution or my favorite is KMail
Adobe is way to expensive - I now use Inkscape and Krita and Gimp even though I have had access to Adobe Creative Suite 3 and I finished the project with those programs and Audacity. It's just what you get use to.
I am so excited for Linux support for steam but it might not be for Source  It might be just for server support or the games that already have a Linux port i.e. Altitude and Galcom to name a few.

| Yeah, apart from the games they only need to port the Adobe Creative Suite and Outlook (unfortunately) and Visual Studio and I'm good to go! No? Oh. |

| Makes sense to not bother porting the Steam client until they determine it's feasible to actually port the Source Engine and all of their games over there. |

| Steam isn't a game, so technically they aren't lying |

| Awesome! Another reason given for us to use Ubuntu more often. I have it as a dual boot, but almost never boot into Linux because I am a gamer. |
