One of the things KDE dose is that it enables a Windows user to move to
Linux without taking Linux classes or reading a book. Beyond that all
the stuff that can make Linux and BSD more popular can be summed up in
one word; "popularity".
I.e. As more people use Linux all the apps will get ported and all the
devices will come with Linux drivers. That of course make it more
popular. It's a cycle that's already started.
