Well, there are already many apps for it. In fact, apart from the games it has just about anything a normal user could possibly need.

ICQ/AIM => gAIM
MediaPlayer => Xine
Winamp => XMMS
Kazaa => eDonkey
IE => Mozilla
Office => OpenOffice
Outlook => Evolution
and the list goes on...
For the average user there are enough apps. But an experienced webmaster needs more than that. I have little apps that I use every day that linux has no equal for ( yet ) . Try switching over to linux completely for a week and you'll see what I'm talking about. You never know what you'll miss until it's gone.

Colin is probably correct about people not caring what OS they use. Until linux starts to come pre-loaded on machines it'll never catch up to Windows.
