So how is the Adobe suite on Ubuntu? If you don't like Windows that is fine, but with a few check boxes Windows 8 isn't very different that Windows 7. Enable boot-to-desktop, disable hot-corners, set the Start button to take you to apps, change file associations to non-metro apps. Just last week I setup a Windows 8 computer for a co-worker that was using Windows 7 and he hasn't had a single question about it. Only on the Internet do I see people have these caustic reactions to Windows 8, in the real world but are just slightly annoyed that something changed or they aren't and then they just move on.

I begrudgingly upgraded WinXP to Win8 because I figured I couldn't really hold out any more for work purposes (I usually run Windows VMs on my Macbook in the cases where my customers are Windows shops). At first, Win8 was a huge shock to my system. I didn't get it, and I also fixated on the loss of the Start Menu. But things changed once I found a decent video that explained Win8 on YouTube. Things weren't nearly as different or as bad as I had thought. I give Ubuntu desktop a run every year to see if I could use it full time, and every time, I uninstall it, thinking "maybe next year". One of the main reasons is that it never feels as well put together as OSX or Windows <-- this is purely subjective for my use case, ymmv. For all of Windows inconsistencies, I still feel more at home using Windows than Ubuntu.
