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.

What makes me think that? The snail's pace development of a truly usable Linux desktop for the masses.

This is not true. In the last 2 or so years, a lot of improvements have been made. The pace of development has been amazingly fast, if anything. A whole lot of stuff still remains to be done, and I am sure that they will be addressed sooner than later.
Oh, the author forgot to mention compatibility with Windows Networks. Most businesses aren't likely or even able to replace their windows desktops all at once. Most would probably do a pilot project. Being able to integrate seemlessly into Windows networks is going to be important.
