It will not start to really take off until it simply comes pre-installed on PCs. If you look at "Joe home PC user", he/she usually doesn't know what an OS does, why to get one or any other such "nonsense." They just hear or read that they "need Windows XP" or more often that they "need Office XP" to be compatibile with work. So they go out and buy a computer with "XP" in the long list of things on that computer that they don't understand or recognize (odd things like RAM, CPU, etc.)
