Q. Personally I would switch tomorrow if all of the software I used was compatible with Linux.
I hope that with the average person coming out of school being more computer savy these days we will see more and more software developers releasing Linux versions.
I have tried Linux in the past and wasn't very fond of it, at that time I was not aware of all the different types available such as Red Hat and Ubuntu. There are versions out there easy to get to grips with and similar to Windows.

A. A direct port of Microsoft Office not a watered down version like they made for Mac. I have tried open office I don't like it.
More automation, I would like to be abe to double click an install file and have it install - I hate hate HATE using the Linux command terminal it is like pulling teeth.
A better IM client I think kMess and GAIM are crap - and a better music player I don't like amarok and WinAmp style media players I just don't like them and I won't 'get used to them over time'.
Did I mention how much I hate using the terminal?
Better games, Linux supports OpenGL and has tonnes of C++ compilers etc, there really is no excuse for not having better games.
Faster boot times, every version of Linux I have tried took ages to boot and my PC isn't exactly low spec, its got a Core 2 Duo @ 1.83ghz with 2 gigs of RAM it shouldn't take so long to boot.
And finally I really like to nosey around and change things when I muck up Windows its easy to restore, Linux isn't I want better recovery options for when theings do go wong because the always do.
I don't ask for much really.

On a unix-like system, how can I set the file permissions of a file to the current default permissions?
Q. Let us suppose I have a file set to the permissions -rwxr----- but the default on the system is -rwx-r-xr-x and insead of using the typical chmod command typing chmod 755 fileName, could I just type a command that sets it to the current default? I am using Ubuntu 12.04 but it would be much appreciated if it worked on mac and other linux versions as well.
A. There is no system default. However, there may will be a default set when you login. It is possible to derive the chmod value from the umask, but be aware that the umask is inverted:
$ umask
0022
$ touch ttt ; ls -l ttt
-rw-r--r-- 1 chris chris 0 Sep 14 23:37 ttt
Here's a tip. If you want to set permissions to rwx-r-xr-x, then don't bother trying to convert that to octal, just use the symbolic setting: chmod u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx fileName. Similar bits on the LHS can be merged, thus giving u=rwx,go=rx.
Don't use the x (execute) bit for files unless they really are supposed to be executable. u=rw,go=r is quite sufficient.

why is the UK version of yahoo home page defaulting to mobile in Linux versions of chrome?
Q. I'm using Ubuntu both i386 and 64bit and the latest version of chrome downloaded from Google its happening on several machines I'm using. Is there some kind of global account setting that would do this?
A. Does it happen when you are logged out or only when logged in?
Have you tried clearing your cache?
If it happens only when you login, it is an account setting.
If it goes away after clearing your cache, you may have visited a link to the mobile site and a cookie got set for it.
If it is happening when you are logged out and you have cleared your cache, it is probably related to your user agent.
You could use the following command to change your user agent to that of an IE9 browser:
google-chrome --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/5.0)"
If this fixes it, which it should, you would want to check your current user-agent and see if there is anything weird about it. Changing your user agent should only be a temporary solution, it can cause problems long term.
