Since you're on the Gartner wagon, here's another interesting conclusion of theirs:

They're right. If you do a large Linux desktop install these days, you'd better make sure it's done right. Then it can save money. Slapping together a Windows system these days is more forgiving.

Personally, I think Linux is good for the desktop in only specific cases, but it is maturing -- give it a few years. If you want better than Windows for the desktop, just get a Mac.

And, therefore, it's no wonder that people aren't moving to Apple on the desktop.
