[Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share

 

Time will pass and more and more OEMs will ship Linux as main OS, and
that's a fact. Linux on Desktop? IMO Desktop OS should give people
oportunity to do their profesional stuffs like 3D, Audio Mixing, Video
Editing etc. not only internet and basic programs. I think Ubuntu is
competing with a wrong competitor that is already beaten in terms of
speed, security and stability. The main competitors should be the
companies who play the huge role in Graphic, Audio and Video
environments. Internet only Users? They don't care about their OS. By
the way "Avatar" is rendered on Ubuntu, that's the real power that Linux
can bring to desktop, but how many people knows it? I think that Ubuntu
Studio is on the right way.

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.
