Personally, I appreciate the efforts from the established open source communities to get applications running on Windows. Although I very rarely use Windows, it's nice to have many of the same high quality programs available when I do. When stuck on Windows, I've used VLC, Evince, Gimp, and X-Chat. I've used AbiWord in the past as well, and I'd hands down pick Pidgin for instant messaging. More recently, the KDE on Windows efforts look interesting. If I had to do it again, I'd get Okular running (I don't know how I ever lived without it), and seriously consider trying Amarok. All of these are open source, so I trust them, unlike a lot of Windows freeware.
I don't know of any applications that use the Ubuntu SDK, so it's hard for me to get excited about it. Frankly, I don't think I even use any such applications on Linux at present...
