Linux is just not ready for prime time.  By prime time I mean on the
homes of the American public.  Regular home consumers don't want to
have to learn a new language to use e-mail or play games.  They want
to be able to update a security hole without having to compile
something. Linux needs an interface like OS X and a software library
to back it for"normal" people to be interested.

In America... In America many things are big. Even mistakes. There is a lot
of user friendly linux distributions that can be used by unexperienced
users.
Mac Os is usually used in profesional DTP, and by some artists. Peoples in
Apple know what that users want. And that is why apple computers are for
"elite".

Business on the other hand is moving slowly to Linux.  Why slowly?
Who do you sue when your business is hacked by someone who planted a
backdoor in the Linux kernel?  Won't happen you say?  Let's see,
almost happened once already . . .

Linux is best solution when u had small budget. Just the cost of windows
licences can be too big.
And at last linux can work on older machines.
Business is moving slowly... Yes, imagine that big enterprices had a lot of
computers with windows. Usual worker know how to use it. Cost of change os
in company can be very big.
In many new companies they use linux.

Microsoft threw an incomplete, insecure computer solution at an eager
market for a low price, so home users and businesses lapped it up.
