Desktop Linux needs people focused on making things work. For the typical case, it does just work, now, but almost everyone is atypical in some way. For example, I want to be able to play WoW without rebooting, and while if I had a different video card that would apparently be fairly easy, I gave up on it after three days and three attempts (wine, cedega, crossover). The average WoW-player probably wouldn't have got that far.
What Linux on the desktop really needs is a reference platform. If people could be sure that the hardware they were buying (or had) would work at least as well as Windows, it would help.
