Sometimes I think the biggest hurdle Linux has is convincing people that good (great) software CAN BE FREE or low cost. They have this stigma that if it's free, it's probably junk and would rather pay a fantastic amount of money for MS Office because it makes them feel better.
This problem isn't helped by those "99 cent software" remainder boxes in various stores. For just 99 cents you can get a software application written for Windows98 (or a formerly shareware application written for WindowsXP) which is total crap compared to something worth $39.95 or more. One 99 cent CD purchase and your average person will decide that cheap equals junk, and that free must be even worse.
