We've recently seen the rise of Linux on mobile devices. But the Linux desktop remains elusive. We know it's out there, but it only now seems to be approaching the tipping point."

The point isn't to outdo windows, the point is to offer an alternative to Windows and let Linux outdo Windows with it's other attributes i.e. better security. I know plenty of people for whom Linux offers everything they want except games, and when you are consistently multibooting into Windows for games, you might as well just install the various open source apps on Windows and go from there instead. I can't see much room for anymore Linux growth in the home market if this hurdle isn't overcome.
