You're right, there's a lot of talk about this. It happens every year, "the year of desktop for Linux".
Frankly, I think that it will happen someday, but not quite as everyone sees it, with Linux having the same market share as Windows has today (maybe 90-95%). But I do believe that when it does happen, 10-15% will be more than enough. By that time, the important people (hardware companies, ISV, corporations), will take notice, and it will be more than enough for a pleasurable experience using desktop Linux.
Till then... hang on :)
