The most upkeep that I do personally is my browser cache. Talk about a backbreaker.

Linux might make sense if a browser cache is all you have to support. That could potentially explain their 3% market share.

Nah, that's the only thing that needs upkeep. Everything else just works.

It's beautiful when things work as advertised.

And the price was just right.

If either Dell or HP begin to market a pre-loaded Linux desktop (which to date they haven't done, at least in the USA in any serious manner), will your Linux bashing come to an end?

Virtually all your arguments are based on the premise that because no major player supports/preinstalls Linux it isn't a serious OS. Will your tune change if HP or Dell makes Linux preinstalled and widely available?
