Seriously though, I switched one box over to see how it was and I'm not really all that impressed (of course, this is still an early release). I still use linux as my primary OS on all computers I own.
I've tried Linux off and on over the years. I enjoy trying out the alternatives to the mainstream. The last time I installed Linux (Fedora about 5-6 months ago) I was really impressed. Linux has really come far and, I think, is about ready for prime time, at least for moderately savvy folks.

Still, the majority of PC users out there want a PC to have the functionality of a toaster, TV, or 'fridge -- just stick your stuff in it, get your stuff out, push a button, wait for a ding.

For that user, something like Windows or MAC is necessary.
