It's one of those catch phrases that never really seems to die out. Wherever you look in the operating systems world, at personal blogs written in crummy English, or at high-profile quality websites, there is bound to be someone, somewhere who used it. Even I, myself, used it in articles in a far and distant past, and I'm not particularly proud of it. "Ready for the desktop" is no longer acceptable - in fact, it's on its way out.

Non-techy experienced windows users might be more of a hassle, though.
I took my in-laws AOL based computer (that's all she ever used) and switched her over to Ubuntu. Both her and her husband fight for use of the computer now. There are a ton of games for him to play that are not arcade and she has discovered internet radio for Costa Rican music and talk shows.
What I am getting at is this, sometimes moving people outside their comfort zones helps them enjoy their PC more.
