If these alternative OSes really wanted to compete, they could've tried to be compatible with the software that runs on Windows. Thats all they really had to do. Just make your cool Linux OS run the software the overwhelming majority of the world is using.
But they can't do that because they don't have the knowledge, personnel, R&D, funding, or business connections that MS has. Even OsX has no chance. Apple has fooled a lot of people out of a lot of money, and those profits are still not enough to compete with MS for the desktop user market. Sure VM this VM that, its not the same. Idiot users don't mess with VMs and there's no reason they should have to.
