I believe that Lindows might gain acceptance through simplicity. Person buys it, it installs without any questions, it looks just like Windows, but it multitasks better. Simple.
Later, if he wants to learn the underpinnings, he can get into Linux administrative functions.
Another possible plus would be where the network administrator is more familiar with, or better likes, UNIX administration than Windows administration. He buys Lindows for all the desktops. The desktop guys are all happy because it runs all their Windows software. The admin is happy because he can administer it as a UNIX network.
