I'm running CentOS on my server and I don't feel it makes a great desktop since several of the major applications (OpenOffice, Firefox, etc) lag behind since it follows RHEL. I prefer to use something more dynamic and current on the desktop.

I too feel that while CentOS is fantastic on my servers, it lags behind a little too much for my desktop needs.
Here I use Fedora Core 6 on my desktops which has fully matured, and I suspect when it reaches end-of-life then Fedora Core 7 will have fully matured.
I use rapid software deployment, PXE/RIS, to deploy my OS and perform a staggered install of a portion of my desktops Windows/Linux every year. Since moving to Windows terminal servers for 2/3 of my Windows users though I have not had to do that much on the Windows side.
