While I run Linux exclusively, and have set up others (who are NOT strongly-technical users) to do the same, I find the idea of trying to sell desktop Linux to the "consumer"/small-business market fairly pointless at the moment. The only people who really are that interested in desktop Linux appear to be individual hobbyists, larger businesses, and governments. The hobbyists aren't going to buy anything, so the system administrators of those larger organisations are indeed the primary target audience. As far as I'm aware, very few large organisations care at all about 3D desktop effects, and would much rather have other areas improved, such as authentication or configuration. Attachment:
