If a company like Google or Yahoo were to release a distro or at least sponsor a distro and then push it to the max windows users might begin to come across, especially if they become disillusioned with the expense of upgrading to Vista. The main problem with Linux is a lack of education. The average desktop user knows nothing except windows or maybe mac, 90% of them aren't even aware Linux exists. It is my belief if Linux was advertised in the main stream the amount of desktop users making the switch would turn into an exodus.
