wine (steam of course 😀 and yes everything runs great)
Open Office
dvdplayback/flashplugins.

now just working on compiz to get that 3d look.

just can't wait for game developers to support linux in general and i'll be windows free!

i just have a few questions though about locking down the machine for security...

what do you guys do? granted i know that it is virtually virus free but i don't want to get rooted, so what suggestions do you have?

There's a lot of options depending on how far you want to take things. SELinux is awesome but it's a PITA to configure a proper policy. AppArmor is easy to configure but it's security is dubious because it relies on file path names. There are scripts like Bastille to do some things for you but they're usually aimed at mulituser machines so a lot of the things might not apply to you.

The best thing you can do is make sure that your passwords are secure and not run anything that you don't have to. By default there's nothing listening for connections, not even ssh, so in order for an attack to be successful you would have to initiate it yourself by opening a malicious email, script, webpage, etc.
