A major problem with deploying an Ubuntu desktop infrastructure is its lack of integration into a Windows Active Directory (AD) environment.
Unfortunately AD sits at the heart of user authentication, security, app deployment and file permissions in most large organisations. Until Ubuntu supports this better, I can't see many large enterprises migrating. To do so would require a move from AD which would be costly even when stacked against savings made from desktop licensing. I'm not fond of most MS software, but I will give them brownie points for AD. I've not seen much (or if any) open-source software that implements the same stuff.
