Most people I know, I don't see them changing from WIndows/Mac OS.

The thing is, we are not the only market.
The west is very self obsessed, and it can be hard to look past the reach of your own hands: all humans seem to share this fault.

Rising markets such as the ones found in third world countries, who sometimes don't have the money to buy Windows for $100+ USD...
Well they deserve access to computers too; do they not?

Yes, but in those markets you can buy for 150$ a second-hand laptop with Windows on it. Windows is not as expensive as it used to it. Hell I never had to buy a Windows licence as I always had one lying around from a PC/Laptop purchase. Again, it's not impossible to make Linux mainstream, but I am not seeing it happening in the next 15-20 years, not with the ammount of cash MS has for R&D and advertisement.
