Entertainment - Games
Since these machines are obviously designed for home use, it is imperative that Sun or other Linux distributors get some major game and entertainment titles ported over to Linux. So long as there is a dearth of such software available for Linux, it will never be successful in a home environment.

Will entertainment software developers be willing to take a chance on Linux? We'll just have to wait and see.
