@ Youp.net (#1550): "... but what if I wanted to start an excel like program? [...] there's no way (for a newbee) to find the launching command.""
You can just type "spreadsheet", or "calc", which is exactly what an "Excel-like" program is. All programs in Ubuntu can be found by category or function. Unlike Windows, you don't need to know the program name. For a computer illiterate, "presentation", "chat", "email" is much easier than Windows' "powerpoint", "mirc", "outlook" Ubuntu groups programs does by category. Windows by developer company. Which one is easier for newbies: "internet, games, graphics, utilities", or "Azerus, Blizzard, Adobe, Powerquest," ? "Excel is not a name which is supported by Unify (probably due to copyrights)" Its not about being supported, it's about being installed. Excel is not pre-installed in Windows either. You wont find "Excel" unless you install it, just like in Windows. And if you do (using wine), Unity will show it just fine. The big difference is: Ubuntu *does* come with a spreadsheet, out of the box, for free. Windows does not "This is keeping more people at that damned MS os." I'm glad it is keeping you there. Ubuntu is fine without trollers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Team UGR, which is subscribed to ugr-meta. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 Title: Microsoft has a majority market share Status in Club Distro: Confirmed Status in Computer Science Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in dylan.NET.Reflection: Invalid Status in dylan.NET: Invalid Status in EasyPeasy Overview: Invalid Status in GenOS: In Progress Status in GNOME Screensaver: Won't Fix Status in Ichthux - Linux for Christians: Invalid Status in JAK LINUX: Invalid Status in LibreOffice: In Progress Status in The Linux Kernel: New Status in The Linux Mint Distribution: In Progress Status in The Linux OS Project: In Progress Status in The Metacity Window Manager: In Progress Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: In Progress Status in Tabuntu: Invalid Status in A simple player to online TV streaming: Invalid Status in Tv-Player: New Status in Ubuntu Gnome Remix Metapackages: In Progress Status in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “ubuntu-express” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in The Jaunty Jackalope: Invalid Status in “ubuntu-express” source package in Jaunty: Invalid Status in Arch Linux: New Status in Baltix GNU/Linux: Invalid Status in “linux” package in Debian: In Progress Status in Fluxbuntu: The Lightweight, Productive, Agile OS: Confirmed Status in openSUSE: In Progress Status in Tilix Linux: New Bug description: Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC marketplace. This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix. Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry, restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full potential, globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry. Steps to repeat: 1. Visit a local PC store. What happens: 2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software pre-installed. 3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed. What should happen: 1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like Ubuntu. 2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and benefits would be apparent and known by all. 3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes.
