Users aren't interested in using this OS, as a whole. There are too many problems to be had with Linux, and the learning curve is tremendous.

Its not an angel from heaven sent out to battle some evil or anything like that. No point in being emotional about a piece of software. Having said that, I must add that Linux offers almost no advantage over Windows or Mac OS X on the desktop. If Linux is stronger on some fronts, it has it's weakness' in abundance on other fronts. Linux brings almost nothing new to the desktop. This failure is clearly reflected in it's marketshare. For over 10 years Linux has been made available for free & still has about 3% (or was it 2% ?) marketshare. Linux fans must stop blaming microsoft & focus on their own failings.
