When I can install World of Warcraft on a fresh Ubuntu Feisty install
with very little additional software packages needing to be installed,
I'd have to say that Ubuntu's brought desktop linux into the now.

Funnily enough, I can actually "dual-box" WoW on linux much easier
than on Windows.  The performance is SO much better under linux than
windows for dual-boxing.  Sadly, I can't get my mic working, so if I
want to use Ventrilo to voice chat with my guild mates, I have to use
windows.  *sob*
