"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."

Except that when windows 95 was released, it was(relatively speaking) a finished product. Gnome and KDE are not (even Relatively speaking) a finished product.
When I clicked on a help button in windows 95, it gave me help on the problem at hand, when I do the same in Gnome, I get a 5 year old outdated help file on how to use Gnome and in a lot of cases, I get nothing!
Also, what hardware was supported under windows 95 was backed up by the hardware maker and Microsoft. In linux, this is not the case at all, so users are left scratching their heads thinking what do I do now?
