Neither the way Microsoft will/says/wants bringing Ubuntu to Windows nor the rise of Android on the mobile phones is IMHO an argument to mark Bug 1 solved.
Even from the usability of the basic operating system I think there are still to-dos left to make more people move to Linux - apart from the bigger problem of 3rd-party Windows-only-application lockin and dependency of formats that are Windows-only (only yesterday I was confronted with a QuarkXpress user and couldn't tell, what Linux app can open and edit them). I mean there are basics like this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/285493/how-to-show-full-date-and-time-in-nautilus-files-3-6-list-view - Not sure if everything fixed in https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/ubuntu/nauty-mods has found it's way into the latest Ubuntu 14.04 and into 16.04 (will check when it's out). Or like this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/792085 There are other annoyances and none of them will hold back those who know well about the benefits of Linux, but it may hold back new users when they try Ubuntu for a week and struggle with such basic things. And as long as users do not definitely request and demand for Linux they won't get it from the hardware vendors because they don't care if the users don't care.
