In my experience people use these OSs not because they think they sound cool but because they're on the PC/laptop when they buy it. >If it doesn't sound cool it isn't gonna sell, even if it's free!

Until Ubuntu is available pre-installed alongside other PCs/laptops in retail outlets I suspect that the only users are going to be enthusiasts (such as us in this forum) and their friends/relatives who have corrupted their computers and lost their original installation disks!
