I agree that the term is overused, but I disagree with your definition. "Ready for the desktop" refers to an operating system that is usable enough for the average person. While the phrase is terrible, and is used far too often for glittering generalities, the concept of rating an OSs usability is definitely very important to projects who want to steal marketshare from Windoze. As for laymen testing, I think it's a wonderful idea. By understanding what makes sense to people, developers can create programs that are much easier to use and stay out of the users way.
