You could use a loger like metalog which caches writes to reduce the amount of hard drive use. Also setting the noatime option in fstab will reduce writes to do the disk when you are browsing directories. This will not help the fact that the drives always spinning though. To avoid that you would pretty much need to turn of logging which may not be a good idea. Anyway that's just my.02
Open Office for productivity has both windows and linux version. Mozilla for web and email has both linux and windows version. Not sure about Antivirus in Linux but I don't think there is enough viruses for linux to worry about it.
The reason the US has a bad infrastructure is because of the sparse population. We have states that are bigger than some countries. And a cell network is expensive. Most companies don't want to put towers up in the middle of nowhere when they will hardly be used. So hopefully this technology will make it more feasable to cover the areas that aren't going to get much use.
I heard from a freind who works with People Soft products that people soft is going to be releasing versions of all of their products including development tools for Linux. So People Soft supports Linux too.
