As per the subject line - it is something that Linux really needed to be taken seriously, but its only one of the steps. Application selection still remains the largest limiting factor and until devs get on board with Linux, it will remain a fringe OS. That needs to be the priority for Canonical - to form partnerships with software devs so that high-quality, high-demand software is available for the platform. Currently its only barely adequate 'alternatives' that are out there and while they may be able to do some of what the major Windows apps can, the options and quality is disappointingly limited.
