I have 11.10 on my work laptop right now, since we use ubuntu at work. my experiences are 2 hours battery life (with jupiter), windows on the same machine gets 6-8 hours around 1 in 5 times it crashes when coming back from hiberation it never shows me the login dialog after turning the monitor off, instead i get my desktop in a much lower resolution, and random artifacts of the windows that were on the screen when the machine turned off the display fonts look like garbage compared to osx trackpad support is a joke compared to osx. I use the keyboard primarily, and things don't make anywhere near as much sense as osx. For example, c-c to copy test, alt-tab to switch to terminal, c-shift-t to create a new tab, and c-shift-v to paste the text. on osx, it is cmd-c, cmd-tab, cmd-t (just like every other app), cmd-v (just like every other app). I don't appreciate constantly jumping modifier keys for even the simplest workflows, and the wild inconsistencies in short cuts on ubuntu. There is nothing that even comes close to omni-focus for gtd, photoshop for image editing, 1password for account management, colorschemer for color choice/manipulation, ia writer for creative writing, git tower for git frontends, reeder for blog aggregation, keynote for slide decks, etc etc. I have found alternatives for these things, but honestly, they all suck in comparison to what is available on osx. This is probably the biggest dissatisfaction with the os, frustration with every app I use that is not chrome or emacs. Not saying osx is perfect (I could do a top ten list of things that annoy me there), but given a choice I would probably use windows over linux, and osx over windows. I am hoping 12.04 will at least give me battery life that will last a long meeting, but im not holding my breath.
