I've paid for a lot of the apps I use on my Mac, and almost all of the apps I use on my Windows PC. (I use fewer apps, but I seem to use the PC apps more often, since they're things like Microsoft Word.)
As far as Linux goes, it seems pretty easy, even straightforward at times to me, but I'll admit to thinking that it has its place, and that place isn't on any computer that I expect to be able to play MP3 files. I'd use it on a hobbybox and on a server, but not much else, unfortunately.
A Solaris (or IRIX, as I have more SGI than Sun in my house) box, I would consider using as my main computer in the situation that every one of my Macs and Windows computers died, but luckily that's unlikely. They make great hobbyboxes though, I recently got a new hard disc for my SGI workstation, and I'm thinking about getting a Sun box to play with.
