Interesting subject as always. To me, yes Linux beats XP/Vista etc. Last time i have run windowZe for business was NT4 (i go to customers) since then i have started running Linux on laptop (started with RH7.0, no dual boot either).

But, for many out there it may not beat XP because there is no vendor stands behind "Linux" to support. Also, Linux has become very general term and i guess these days we gotta be specific about a Linux distribution (F7, Ubuntu, SuSE etc). If there is a vendor who is ready to pre install Linux (any distro) and extend it to full supportability while providing all the drivers (video, wireless specifically) then it can beat any OS (in my opinion OS X also).

The question, who is gonna do that.

Maybe these are US-only links, but they are to PCs with RedHat and Ubuntu factory installed.

But, installing your own is trivial if the hardware is recognized by the installer.
