Non marketing - yes I agree. But I feel a strong marketing motive stirring when I was faced with a windows user who had asked for a CD and returned deliberately one month later (at the next event) saying that they had turned off at the boot up screen because it began to look like an install! However much I run display events, and however good the shipit CD packs look, the negative marketing effect of the menu is - in that case anyway - strong enough to completely counteract the positives. -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
