Google deal gives it exclusive rights to books that are in copyright whose authors cannot be found and so called orphan works and that any competitor who wants to try the same project could get sued for huge sums of money

People don't use operating systems - they use apps. If the apps are there, then people will use whatever OS the computer comes with.
Linux doesn't have the apps - Quicken? Nope. QuickTax? Nope. Photoshop? Nope. Office? Nope (although CrossOver is pretty good these days). Garage Band? Nope. And on and on and on...
However, if you are like me and have very simple needs - coding, browsing, email, Skype - then it's fine. I've been using it on the desktop since 1997, although my main desktop is now a Mac, which is the best of all worlds: commercial apps, Unix, and a beautiful, solid desktop.

people use apps !! very true
linux users--try syncing ur mobile/pda--it damn hard.
try using a tablet laptop or bluetooth audio or try doing voice chat and using a webcam etc etc.
in my view, linux development is slow because they are too many options but not a solid one with simple gui in most cases.
