No but I do know what the major applications folks buy computers for are:
Microsoft Office
Adobe Suite
iTunes
None of those run on Linux...

Adobe Sweet - as in writer or photoshop? for what 99.9% of people do in photoshop GIMP is just fine.
iTunes - I know of no windows users who use iTunes (though some I am sure exist)
BTW with Winde I have run MS Office, and Photoshop on Linux though I have never tried iTunes..

OpenOffice 2.0 and if you need The Gimp - the GimpShop should do nicely in Linux as a Photoshop hack. Its true Microsoft Office and Adobe don't run in Linux but then there are free equivalents. Not sure about i-Tunes.
