Fedora has a RPM for it now (from http://spot.fedorapeople.org/steam/). There is also a package (built from this one) on OpenSUSE's build service. I can confirm the package works on Fedora 17 and 18 (with the nvidia blob from nvidia, tested TF2 on a Quadro 600 and GTX 460).
MATE seems to pick up right were GNOME 2 stopped. A few of the program names have changed to avoid conflicts with GNOME 3, but I've been using MATE on Fedora since F16 (been using KDE again too).
Karate guy here (Shorin Ryu). Add a little bit of exercise* in addition (class is 2x/week), and you stay pretty well together. Plus, you get the mental effects of MA training too.
*I keep some dumbells at home, have hand grips at home and at the desk, and do pushups and squats during lunch sometimes.
Yes they do (I think it's XenApp and XenDesktop, depending on which features you want). It works very well. Our client uses it - but you still have to pay MS licensing costs (which are insane).
Audio is there (especially in the upcoming version). I can't speak on printer forwarding, I don't use a printer but maybe twice a year. Beyond that it's more then met my needs. (Actually, X over SSH usually meets my needs, but MS's equivalent is Remote App, not the full RDS. And I'm not paying for RDS licensing for my house (and my work would probably pick NX over RDS too. They don't consider my time as a valid cost factor in implementing anything).
Right now the Linux client has a Linux only tab added under Library that just shows the available Linux titles. Otherwise I'd have that complaint about it.
Normally I wouldn't dignify you with a response to that, but here goes:
Network drivers with a fresh install of Windows - just isn't there. Windows 7 does about as well as XP did on that ground. Specific example - I switched out the wifi card in my laptop (Realtek 802.11g card for a Atheros 802.11n card). Linux worked with the new card without issue. Windows never did fully work with the card - Bluetooth still doesn't work in Windows, and hunting down the right Ath9K driver to get the wifi working took quite a while.

Depends on the size of the company maybe?
Where can I find a 10' Model M keyboard?
Who are you kidding? I don't care if Microsoft releases source code for anything, that's their thing. I don't want .NET, Office, or DirectX on Linux.
Notice I said "want" and not "can." I can say good things, I just don't like to. I can say plenty of bad things too.
Because my jobs requires me to manage various different kinds of systems (Windows, Solaris, Linux)? Got to eat you know.

Not that I want to say something good about a MS product, but powershell lets you do that.
I wish they would dump the systemd and go back to init scripts.
I'm using GRUB 1 myself.

In college I had some fun running OpenBSD on a Sun Sparc Classic. Mostly used that machine as an SSH gateway.
Wait, I didn't move the goal posts. I merely explained my comment.
1 - Not an Ubuntu fan
2 - Sometimes you have need for a more updated driver then the repos provide.
If you grab the blob from nvidia's site you have to install at the CLI.

And what does RDP provide that NX does not?
Here you go for TS replacement (if you require such): http://www.nomachine.com/
Protocol also has an OSS implementation, I believe it's called FreeNX.
And we still had the program manager in XP as a fully usable option. Hmmm...maybe I should see if it can run in 8.

I've only tested it thus far on one computer. Steam and TF2 run fine on that system
Specs:
AMD Phenom II x2 555 BE (unlocked to x3)
8GB DDR2 RAM
nVidia Quadro 600
Fedora Linux 17 w/ KDE
Soon as I get around to it I'll try it on my main desktop (AMD FX-8120, 24GB DDR3, nVidia Geforce GTX 460), but I broke my Linux install on there.

You forgot Lenovo, which is still offering 7 on all the systems that we're looking at buying.
