The main reason why linux has never been heard of by some, there for
creating the theory "Its not for everyone" is because something like 50% of
computer sales person do not even know what Linux is, go round to your
local "large" computer retailer and say, i want a computer with Linux on it.
EH! is possably thier answer.
Linux is "free" the old syaing was, "What you get is what you see", you are
forgetting that no one gets paid for writing code for the linux kernel.
So how can you sell a free product to someone who does not even know what a
video card is.??

There is no market for a "free product", Joe User wants support when he buys
his $2000 machine, which he gets from his "Micky$soft" supplier.
So if nobody gets paid for making a free Linux system, who's gonna give
"free" support.
By free i mean the software is free of charge and is under GPL, of course
if you want to burn it on a CD-rom and sell the cdrom with technical
support, then theres possably not to much stopping anyone.
