For home use, I believe it is actually preferable to use KDE (2.2 and 
above) over Windows.  However, the lack of business applications (mainly 
office suite, accounting software and vector drawings programs) remains 
the main obstacle preventing Linux from being considered a via desktop 
alternative.
I know quite a few members at LUAU think very highly of 
StarOffice/OpenOffice; however, for law office applications, my 
experience is that it is still a large distance from MS Office and 
WordPerfect.  With regard to accounting software, I heard Gnucash is 
quite good, but, just like every Linux project, it is starving from lack 
of financial support.
