The complete Google group of services are good. Some of the programs do work nativly under Linux with some exceptions. It's a shame about Gtalk, but you can't have everything... I use several PC's running different OS's, Googles browser sync is a real boon. I would be lost without the spell checker in Google tool bar. I use Gmail as my default email these days because of the multiple computers. I used to use Yahoo for all of these tasks but in the last year or so Google has become the centre of my on-line life.
