Re: [Bug 1] Re: Ubuntu desktop is too buggy to gain majority market share

[Martin Wildam]

I think this bug should be forked into two because regarding PC/Laptops the
bug is IMHO definitely not fixed.

Why there should be a difference? - Well, although most people I know do
have a smartphone (or two - a private one and a business phone) and maybe
also have a tablet, ALL OF THEM do their main computer work with a PC or
laptop. You cannot assume that most of the serious computer work is done
from an Android phone or tablet. And IMHO that won't be the case for the
next years.


   This bug is widely evident in the PC industry.

   Steps to repeat:

   1. Visit a local PC store.
   2. Attempt to buy a machine without any proprietary software.

   What happens:

   Almost always, a majority of PCs for sale have Microsoft Windows pre-
   installed. In the rare cases that they come with a GNU/Linux operating
   system or no operating system at all, the drivers and BIOS may be
   proprietary.

   What should happen:

   A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software.



Best regards, Martin.

[Bug 1] Re: Ubuntu desktop is too buggy to gain majority market share

[Tom]

Hi :)
How can you change the summary?  

It's a bit rude too.  I do realise you have a single agenda to push but it 
would be better to start a new bug-report rather than change an existing one.  
People's replies now make no sense because they were replying to the original 
bug-report as originally reported.  It is not possible to go back and edit 
everyone's replies to make them relevant to your new summary and to do so would 
be a travesty anyway.  This is a historic bug-report that has been widely 
reported in the media and surely deserves to be treated with some respect 
especially if you ex hope to be treated with respect too.  Please change it 
back.
Regards from 
Tom :)
