Hi Thomas! A few answers from me.
1. Yes, about monthly or so (inside virtual machine, WinXP) 2. I mostly use MS Office. This is applicable if I am writing a paper in collaboration with someone who uses MS Office and don't want to risk any format breakage. In addition I use EndNote citation manager and a program for ordering digital photographs print. I would guess people also use Wine a lot to run games, although in time this might become less necessary with Steam and all. I would suggest (if you plan to do any application specific instructions) that you focus on applications with gold or platinum rating. Top 3-4 flavours (worldwide): Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu Gnome for me: Lubuntu, Ubuntu Have a great day.
