At work I have Ubuntu 10.04 running in a Parallels Virtual Machine on my Mac. I use it for a development web server and SVN server. Anyways, I like the performance and stability of Ubuntu but never got into the UI. I may get slammed for this, but I am a fan of the Windows XP UI so I wanted it to feel more like that.
That said, I themed my Ubuntu installation to look like XP. As you can see below, it looks a lot like Windows XP but is Ubuntu. I used a script here to do this:

So for anyone who likes the Windows XP interface but wants the stability of Linux, you should think about theming your installation.
