Why Is Open Source World Domination Taking So Darn Long?

Summary
Open source certainly now is "good enough" for the needs of most end
users who merely use their computers for simple office productivity
work, Webbing, and e-mailing. As any Tux-lover can tell you, a good case
can be made that open source desktop offerings can handle those basic
jobs better than the products of the desktop market leader. So it would
appear that world domination is right around the corner.
