For how many years now?
On Internet servers, close to 15.
On the desktop, not so much. I don't see it happening until one release aimed for the desktop becomes dominant. Ubuntu is a decent candidate for that.
If a flawless XP emulator (for running the apps) ever got developed, that would help a lot. (Flawless includes painless).

Mint is much more polished than Ubuntu.

Oh, and try Virtualbox. It’s not an emulator, but it’s pretty close to flawless. And in ‘seamless’ mode, you don’t even know you’re in a virtual machine. Installs in a couple of clicks and is extremely easy to use.
