...and I would tend to agree with Matthew Szulik. Note the difference that
is made between home and corporate desktop : The (lower) average home user
has drastically different expectations then the corporate one : Games,
Multimedia most notably, vs. Productivity and Communication tools.

When so few 3D graphic cards have free native X drivers, and patents
prevent the most popular multimedia formats from being supported in
GNU/Linux distributions, it's just not possible to compete fairly.
