I think you have a comment on your many failures of concept, and a bit of bias, and I am going to reply.
The first of your blunders is a historical accounts how it is produced when the fight for the desktop. Microsoft is not consolidated as KDE and Gnome "struggling" with each other. It was already fully consolidated much before the advent of KDE (and therefore of the Gnome). Since these desks have gained maturity, the share of Windows has done nothing but fall in favor of these and other non-free (MacOSX).
You say that GNU / Linux has little to offer the novice user, and that installing applications is complicated. The reality I see is just the opposite. Today, the distributions have respositorios software almost infinite, so nothing easier for a novice user to open your package manager, searching for the program and install it. No need to search for internet installers. Exe, which can contain viruses, dialers and things worse.
For developer, also are all advantages. Any exotic language or library you need is available in the package system, with an implementation more efficient and safer than any kind of business. All with the advantage of working in a UNIX environment, universally recognized as the development environment by antonomaisa by the community of programmers.
The list of applications you say you miss lacking in GNU / Linux, I suggest that your skills are not updated since 1997. The main developer of design tools and electronic versions published GNU / Linux for their programs, not to mention the high quality of free tools that already exist. To have Blender 3D design, which is not only a leader in its sector, it is also free. Web development tools are powerful and light, not as Dreamweaver that is slow and heavy. This field is typical in that less is more, as evidenced by Google, who programmed their Web applications with vi. To design vector, no tool better than Inkscape.
What you do not develop games for GNU / Linux, it is also old, because the best games and graphics engines are ported and give a lot better marks than their performance in Windows. In addition, the offer is completed with free high-quality games, as PlaneShift, UFO-AI or Battle for Wesnoth.
For all this, GNU / Linux is not only ready to compete with Windows, but it is the most recommendable.
Because Windows, say what you say, is not stable. Hangs. You never have heard the phrase typical user windowsero "the next time you format," as if it were part normal format of the maintenance work on the computer.
A Windows lacks the features to be called operating system seriously. Not even multiuser system can be called real. The features are minimally runner advanced copies of the work done by other companies.
Not to mention security, which is laughable. The concept of Windows security is to ask the user to 500 times every time you want to do one thing. Meanwhile, viruses, Trojans and dialers slip into the system without anyone doing anything to prevent it.
The new addition of DRM, may be the first lace of the coffin of Windows. The user wants to download movies and music and be able to see them on your computer without strings attached. Not surprisingly, Windows Vista has the worst sales results in history.
Ultimately, GNU / Linux is a system made by professionals for professionals, while Windows is not an application to be finished, without an iota of professionalism, and a disdain for the quality of the finish.

Thank you very much for your attention.
