I guess you should check some compiz videos on youtube... Regarding
ergonomic features, there are three things I found so addictive I keep
trying to use them on the Widows machine I have to use (for fairness
sake, there is no good alternative to Word/Endnote combination when it
comes to refs):
Openoffice with Zotero/Firefox works very nicely for refs. I made the
transition from a dualboot to a Linux-only system a couple of years ago
and there is nothing I miss. If I need windows, Wine or VMware do the trick.
I've seen gnome desktops that look (and presumably function) very much
like OSX.
