You may want to reconsider Ubuntu (the new LTS release will come out end of april).
My apple owning colleagues were suprised how easy it is nowadays. Granted, i customized it a lot to match exactly with my workflow, but i guess i'm around 30% faster then i could be on a mac or windows, in terms of organizing tasks, tracking information/time, getting different tasks done.
Also, if you haven't tried linux for some time: gnomes' apps integrate quite well nowadays (contacts, mail, calendar on the desktop and if you use it, with google mail/contacts/calendar). In conjunction with an android phone it makes up for a pretty good and efficient working environment.
