Of course, it has also plenty of bugs (and I mentioned that) - e.g. my favorite Excel-bug is: It can't handle negative times. Guess, in my room sits somebody printing out xls sheets with working hours and calculating extra hours sum by hand! But anyway, IMHO Linux/Ubuntu have the better architecture as the big plus - and THE COMMUNITY! By accident I dived more into contribution that I could ever have done with Microsoft. There you need to know particular people and so on. - Years back I tried to help out with bug reports and even calling them (local support hotlines) - yes I was naive. I think that Ubuntu is better overall quality but the point I wanted to make is: Plenty of people are sticking with Windows for plenty good reasons. Just to give an example: Somebody not knowing much of computers can buy yet another hardware gadget without the need to worry about compatibility with the OS. Everywhere is written if Windows 7 compatibility is given - but quite nobody writes "Linux-compatible" even if the compatibility is given. Please don't focus on this now - it is just one example. I myself invest the more time in finding a compatible gadget for the sake of other advantages, but other people are not willing to search the internet for known issues with a thing they want to buy. -- Martin Wildam http://www.google.com/profiles/mwildam -- Microsoft has a majority market share https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu 4 dz, which is a direct subscriber.

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. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~algeriatul Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~algeriatul More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
