Yeah. It is exactly those users that should start with ubuntu, before they get
used with Windows.

This is a bigger problem then Windows market share. Microsoft Office is one of
those things that keeps corporations from switching. Personally I only toss PDF
files around. We have to work harder to get people to stop using proprietary
formats.

Bug description:
Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC marketplace.
This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix.
Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry, restricting
access to IT to a small part of the world's population and limiting the ability
of software developers to reach their full potential, globally. This bug is
widely evident in the PC industry.
Steps to repeat:
1. Visit a local PC store.
What happens:
2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software pre-installed.
3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed.
What should happen:
1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like Ubuntu.
2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and
benefits would be apparent and known by all.
3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes.
