NoLinux on the desktop will happen one day but this isn't it.
I'd suspect that an ubuntu derivative is much more likely to succeed in this area before this does.
Also, from the article: "This is the first time we have had a truly competitive OS on the market in years. This is potentially disruptive and is the first real attempt by anyone to go after Microsoft." This guy is a twat, for a start it is nowhere near being "on the market" yet and secondly a kernel, window manager and browser is not a OS, needs a bit more than that to take on a real operating system.
Thirdly the MS stranglehold of the enterprise desktop is not going away any time soon so speculation that this is an MS killer is just fucking dumb frankly.

Upson, not Torvald, admittedly, but it made me smile....
