Yes - my students are using Ubuntu full-time, with Windows 7 running in 
Virtualbox.

They love it. I guess almost everyone is sick and tired of viruses and 
Windows, but most, if not all students don't know any better (my 
students are 17+ years of age), since they have been trained from 
Primary One by the Microsoft Ministry Of Education.

Oh well...

Those who have the $$$ have moved on to the MacBook (also a result of 
the iPhone halo effect)...
Those who regretted buying PC notebooks with Windows are now game to try 
Ubuntu.
