That is the heart of the matter. Until the OEM stranglehold is broken, desktop adoption will remain low. Fortunately we are seeing a turn of events in two areas as the desktop market recedes a little in favor of tablets and notebooks. Tablets are undeniably dominated by Linux. And Linux on notebooks is starting to hit its stride with Chromebooks. Neither tablets nor notebooks come off the shelf with Debian right now, but with the direction things are heading, it is a possibility eventually. Though I think we'll see something mainstream with a Debian derivative like Ubuntu first.
