"Linux has made major inroads on servers and in data centers running both open-source and proprietary applications on millions of computers worldwide. 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."

Linux users should understand that open source programmers aren't all gods and that close source programmers are sometimes better. Some of the best talent don't want to work for free so if you really want to attract them, start paying up for software.
Well then you closed sourcecommercial proprietory programmer Gods need to tell your bosses to port the bread and butter applications to Linux and sell them to the crowsd of willing buyers! You Gods need to remember that the good is the enemy of the perfect -- and that when faced between a choice of Perfect or Good Enough most people are going to go with the 'good enough' every time.
If you want to sell us software, sell us something that works crossplatform, doesn't spit out proprietory data no one else can read, and doesn't try to lock us in. Really, if your programs are all that great you wouldn't need to lock us in because we'd be beating down the door for the privledge!
