I think you have to remember that we're getting more and more Windows
users using Linux, too, these days.  Not because they're computer geeks
who want something more suited to their hacking (I mean that in the good
experimental use of the term), but because they're after something free,
cheap, or just to play with for the hell of it.  In my opinion, that's
what made Ubuntu take off, it's aimed at the Windows user with the
Windows mindset (mostly working out of the box, don't care about being
un-free, click on everything until it works...).
