I very much disagree. The truth is that Linux desktop applications are not 
as well integrated as those on Windows for the most part and many Linux 
based alternatives to Windows based applications are poor by comparison. 

Things have changed a little over the past couple of years but Windows 
users still find Linux a challenge and often go back because application x 
just isn't available and the suggested alternative doesn't work as well.
