"I recently read a story that asked, 'Has the Desktop Linux Bubble Burst?' Burst!? No, I don't think so. Actually, it still isn't even half as big as it will be when it's full. The author goes on to explain that he feels this way because GNOME 'lacks any form of a vision', while KDE4 is full of wonderful ideas, but not enough money and effort behind turning concepts into code. I don't see that at all. I think both popular Linux desktop environments are making good progress."

Here here (I seem to say that a lot).
I run an office based entirely on Fedora thinclients (ten users)- and other than those who are unable to distinguish between a mouse and keyboard, we have little problems.
Nothing larger than using XP and having to overhead of licensing, security costs (spyware, viruses) I would say.
Linux has been more than 'ready' for the desktop for several years now, you just have to define what you mean by desktop first.
