Emily, Your ideas are lovely, and so are your Illustrations. But we cannot mention any company that is not affiliated with Ubuntu (wish we could though). I am not rejecting your idea nonetheless, never. Can you please edit it and turn in another one? :) Its great though, but just needs to be edited to get rid of any mentioning of Microsoft and Apple. Thank you.
