If a shop sells a desktop Linux PCs they'll lose a lot of the after sales market, no AV/firewall/security sales, no office productivity sales, no OS upgrade sales, you may not even go back for a new PC as often let alone for some of their peripheral devices which may not have drivers. Same with magazines such as Computer Shopper - only lip service to OSS since they would lose even more advertisers and free hard/software to test.
My biggest fear is of Linux/FOSS being promoted unintentionally by a celebrity user (think Twiggy and the Mini) and our community bring unprepared for the cries for help.
