While Ubuntu certainly is pretty and one of the best distro's of Linux by far, I still think it has a very long time before it is ready for prime time for anyone besides us geeks ;-) I can't imagine my parents or even my wife using it for instance...

If you need the specific Windows program you can also run Windows in VirtualBox as a guest os. If you run it in Seamless Mode it will basically look like a regular old program. You want a fairly powerful machine though if you are going to be running two OSes at once. That's why I'm running Win 7 on my laptop right now. I need Visual Studio and SQL Server for the moment and my laptop isn't beefy enough to run Linux and Win 7 at once. When I upgrade to a new machine, I'll probably run Ubuntu as my primary OS and then Win 7 as a guest OS.
