Yes. Full Ack! > In Windows everything "just works" is a lie No, it's not a lie - it's a damn lie! But seriously: Yesterday in train I have seen a young woman with a super stylish Sony notebook with Vista or Win 7 on it, needing 3 attempts of typing a word until finding out the caps lock is on and spending a minute on adjusting the spaces in the Word document header to have a text centered and the (of course manually entered) current date on the right. - You can be sure that there is a large amount of people working that way and seriously: For those it is completely irrelevant if they have menus or ribbons or whatever OS underneath. They are completely lost anyway. - This is a reason why I find it more important to focus development of Ubuntu on those who want to be productive and not on the completely newbies. - Those who have a small rest of flexibiilty will adapt to a little changing in the GUI and the others are lost anyway - with their old or new OS and applications.

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
