I don't get why all the responses are basically, "this guy's a jerk and is completely wrong." No, he isn't--Linux is still terrifying black magic to most of the general population. But, this article _says exactly how to fix that!_ You have to go after the perceptions around computing, and change the way people view computers. The author is absolutely right that on average, PC == Windows. However usable Ubuntu is won't change that. It's basically attacking the wrong problem, but it _is_ possible to attack the right problem.
(Intelligent) Trolling usually makes a point; HN should know this. I don't understand why so many people responded saying, "he's wrong, (insert numbers here), cars vs horses" and ignored the valid point he was making. The troll said it was impossible to overtake windows; come on guys, as hackers we should take that as a clue he means it isn't!
