I regularly receive emails from ZDNet, and today's was headlined with:
Yes, Ubuntu can absolutely be the default Windows alternative

A quote from the blog:
"So how can I be so confident that Shuttleworth’s vision of becoming
the “default alternative”, and not just the default Linux for those
geeky enough to try it, will become a reality? Because he very
clearly tied it to a vision of platform. If Ubuntu can work well on
every device users encounter (including non-Intel smartbooks and
other new classes of portable devices that will be emerging in the
next couple of years, displacing notebooks for many consumers), then
name recognition will follow."
