Localisation will be the important thing...
Have a look at this url
http://www.economist.com/science/tq/displaystory.cfm?story_id=2246308

Localisations available:
Win 2000 24 Languages
Win XP 33 Languages
Office XP 20 Sprachen

KDE 42 localisations finished + 46 in progress
Mozilla 65 + 34
OO 31 + 44

It seems to me that a lot of people won't see windows any more as it is not available in their language.
It is just easier for people if they don't have to learn English to work with their computer.
