I agree with the author completely. Nothing wrong with Linux. It's great to have choices, whether it's Windows, Mac OS X, Linux etc. But if you're mainly a Windows user, there really is nothing compelling about switching to Linux and there's nothing about it that is going to get any significant number of current Windows users to switch. Ditto Max OS X and Linux. If those are your main machines, you probably won't find anything that would get you to switch to Windows. It's too costly in terms of time, effort and even money to switch just for the sake of switching. You've got to gain something significant for the switch and Linux just doesn't offer that much over Windows on the desktop. At least not for me and I'm sure not for most people.
