Point taken. However, I'm not sure that KDE or Gnome users are willing to give up their beloved desktops just so that Linux can become monolithic like Windows or MacIntosh.
That said...I was surprised when I flew into Denver three weeks ago. There were GIANT Linux adds up all over the place in the form of highway signs. Linux was the first exit, then Windows, then MacIntosh. I can't remember which company put the signs up, but I recall seeing at least three of them taking up about 20 ft horizontally and 4-5 feet vertically directly over the moving walkways.
I think you'd be surprised at how the word is spreading. Will Linux become a Windows replacement overnight? Of course not. But among most college students I teach, perhaps 2/3 have heard of it. Among sales people, perhaps 1/5.
