I don't want to run Linux. I have to much time, effort, and money invested in Windows based applications.

Same with me, I have tried to switch to Linux several times but trying to find workarounds for my programming applications (like Dreamweaver) is just too much of a pain. I know there are alternatives for Linux but none are nearly as good.

I don't think that they are planning on releasing a complete Explorer shell replacement although that would be awesome.

Why not just install Kubuntu ?

I’m just hoping for an amarok-port. Then I will die a happy man.

Web site capability is a big deal to me. I don’t have the resources to run a Linux, Mac, and multiple window machines just for the sake of making sure my web site look the same across platforms.

Native running applications would also be easier to get going verses running multiple OS through virtualization or multi-boot machines.
