"So how's that look-like-Windows thing working for the Linux community? Is the wave of desktop adoption far ahead of where it was in 2001 and 2002 when this started? And, if not, why don't we stop doing it? Is it because we're stuck on stupid?"

I am a single admin for a windows network that has 200 clients in 7 US states and 4 countries and the only linux we run is on our firewalls.
HOWEVER, I have been talking to a friend of mine that loves Ubuntu, and he convinced me to take another look at linux or bsd. He said that linux and BSD's have gotten much better since I looked at SUSE in 2002.
While I think that Vector Linux with Enlightenment will make a really snazzy desktop, I won't go to linux for a couple of reasons - and it kills me because Linux seems to be a good stable OS
The primary reason I can't switch to a linux distro is:
I can't run solid works or my ERP package on it. Without those 2 apps being ported, I am tied. If the apps get ported and they are stable and as equally functional, I could have a real shot at switching to linux.
One KNOWS that if the CEO and Controller have both asked about researching the idea of switching to linux, that this stuff must be showing up in their news circles (e.g. Wall Street Journal)
Anyway .. that guys article sucked and wasn't worth all the electrons...
