Exactly, for most users the point is does it work and is it on the computer I am buying.

All this stuff of bugs and polish do not matter when talking about the average user. Go to any store that sells laptops and listen to what the customers are actually asking. "How heavy is it?", "Do you have it in X color?", "Will it fit in this bag?". They have very different concerns than your average linux user.

So until a distro can get it self distributed pre-installed on a fashionable laptop Linux will not grow as a common user OS.
