I'm using Meebo, a web based messenger and combine it with Mozilla Prism, you get a hybrid web-desktop based chat application, which working like charm :) apparently, yes :)

Your selection of a whole operating system is based on a messenger program?? LOLOL.And also, for the tasks you described (web browsing, email, office utilities, shall I add multimedia) Linux is as friendly as win is. You are kidding me right?

One thing thats truly lacking with ubuntu is Yahoo messenger. It's a part of every internet user's to be able to login in to it whenever they are online. Pidgin and Kopete is a good alternative but still nothing beats the real thing. I hope that all of use Linux user will work together to force, demand and push yahoo to update YM version for linux. But for the mean time I'm appealing to all Guru's to get this YM wok with linux using wine.This is one of the reason's why I'm using Windows XP... :-( I’m using ubuntu for more than 4 years now.
