Jumping through technical hoops aside, it takes less than 20 minutes to install Ubuntu on a PC (including the apps I want). I don't think I've ever completed a Windows install in less than 1 hour (just the OS, no apps). I find that difference alone compelling.
I've installed (and ditched) Ubuntu on my laptop 3 times. You're right, it took about 20 mins to install. It then took most of 3 days to try and get my wireless working. In the end, it never did recognize my wireless card and I happily spent about 30 min reinstalling XP, which worked perfectly.
