Why do it? I am asked this question more often than I expected, even by existing Linux users who I expected to know as well as I the reasons for building a next-generation desktop Linux for the home user. So here are some of my reasons for thinking that we must spend the effort to create a better desktop on Linux than any existing version now has.

good article from someone who knows what Average Joe wants. Now the question is, who's gonna deliver it?
With Linux, I'm not holding my breath. There's just too much 'baggage', and I'm not even sure it will ever find itself on the desktops of the masses, or even if it needs to. In fact, I'd put my money on a BeOS-derived resurrection before anything of substance actually occurs in the Linux camps regarding a truly 'newbie' Windows desktop alternative.
