Linux is still way too much of a pain in the backside, which is a shame, because there's a lot to like about it. If all those bedroom coders could just get behind one distro, it might have a chance, but I doubt it will happen any time soon.
One of the biggest problems with Linux is the lack of support from hardware vendors. Last time I tried, getting a wireless dongle to work was nigh on impossible... and Linux geeks need to acknowledge that most people don't get a thrill out of having to compile system components from source.
I don't think OSX is in with much of a shout really. It could be if they'd produce a version for standard PC compatibles, but ain't gonna happen.
