I've been using linux as my primary desktop for a few years now. Still keep an XP computer around for games that I can't get running well under wine.
My mom has been on Kubuntu since mid 2007, with increasing levels of success. (Especially after she got broadband, and we were able to toss the crappy WinModems.)
I troll "linux isn't ready for the desktop" articles here on a semi-regular basis, because as I see it, it's increasingly ready for an increasingly large number of people. Sure, it falls a bit short on games and commercial apps, but what a few loudmouths fail to realize is that those people are not a huge majority of the market share. In the rest of the world, people like my mom want to surf the web, play web-based flash games, and install the occasional solitaire game. And linux does that with a minimal amount of fuss.
