Would use it at work if I could.. but unfortunately, not gonna happen

When its all said and done, most linux installers are much easier to walk through than a typical windows install, providing you dont encounter problems. Any problems you may encounter are usually a one google search away from an answer. GNOME and KDE have become very usable, and work in a way familiar to most computer users.. Its definately a viable choice for the work desktop, depending on what you need from your machine.

About the only thing that makes it hard to use in this industry in particular is the widespread use of .wmv, although with programs like mplayer and VLC, most wmv files work fine.
