I was casually browsing through a mailing list I am on, when I stumbled across one of those obnoxious anti-Linux-on-the-desktop notes that pop up every now and then.
I couldn’t help myself, and the result was this article.
Some people (you know who you are) may argue that I am a geek (hell YES, and proud of it!) and that is why I can do what I do.
For these people, I have only this to say:
If you haven’t understood this yet, you are either very rich, or a pirate.
The fact is – Linux on the desktop is as easy to work with as any other operating system (including Windows). It is just a question of setting it up. Which is easy enough if you know how, and even easier if you do not (which applies to the vast multitude of Windows users as well) – just ask someone set it up for you. 
Whatever it may be – don’t knock it until you try it. The fact that millions of us do it proves it can be done.
