if I have to work in windows (even through wine) I might just as well stick to windows.

IMO, that's the key. Ubuntu will have a chance when it can serve as a replacement for Windows and/or Mac. For many people, it could -- email, surfing, word processing, spreadsheets ..... no problem. You could go Ubuntu all the way. But for those of us who depend on Adobe products, or other software that isn't available for Ubuntu, it can't be more than an adjunct OS.
