Linux is best suited to other tasks (servers, high end number crunching, etc.)
I don't know about you, but I utilize my Linux box for much more than file serving on my network. MP3's, Quake, and even word processing are constantly used, and a personal financial manager like Gnucash is greatly appreciated around these parts. Another step towards the elimination of Microsoft is always welcome; after all, geeks have bank accounts too. Saying programs like Quicken and Gnucash are simply "glorified checkbooks" is to belittle their usefulness; it's sort of like calling Linux a "server".
