My experience with the N800 was that there is a great deal of software available, but that the lion’s share of it was either buggy, incomplete or both. That would follow from the developer model being largely amateur driven. That’s not to say there are not talented dedicated amateurs around, but by the nature of the beast it is necessarily their second job.

Rather than making speculative comments may I suggest you try it first, I think you will be surprised at how far Ubuntu has come from it's roots in unix.
It is after all free, and you loose nothing to try, and your comments will then be more informed.
BTW why are you batting so strongly for Windows?
