This is admittedly an advantage to Ubuntu in that it can run really well and fast on machines that Windows has failed. However I have concerns about driving this forward as a key feature or advantage to Ubuntu. Ubuntu will become associated as a method of just fixing up old computers and not one to use on new ones. Wouldn't this give us the same image as say Windows 2000?
Working a miracle on the 'old spare laptop' is a potential *major* market for second market installs of Ubuntu. It has been a gift from the Microsoft gods, who produced Vista which was frequently sold on inadequate machines. This advantage has a best use by date. Soon.
