When I first wanted to try Linux on my laptop, it took an age just to find a distro that could recognise the display. A few weeks ago I bought some new wireless hardware, and it took longer to get it installed on Windows than it did on Linux. 95% of my time is spent on Linux now, and there are only a few programs (Flash Develop) that I need Windows for. I don't think it will ever be the year of the Linux desktop, but that certainly doesn't make it a failure like the wonderful comments on that article would suggest.
