Yes.
I'm not so sure I want MS to go away though. While I'm not a fan of MS and I've never even really used a Windows computer beside it being mandated in school and university, I don't want Windows to go away.
When the masses come to Linux, it will simply become worse and locked down. There are already enough companies invested who will want to do so as soon as it becomes feasible and enough influencable users are on Linux.
Windows is better then mac OS in terms of user control, so I also don't want the masses to go to mac OS.
What I would welcome is, Desktop Linux to not be a rounding error and the OS market to become more competitive, so that MS needs to improve Windows and can't ship whatever crap of the day they want.
