There's a shiny new toy, i want, i want, i want. There's another new
toy, i want, i want, i want.

It's really bad there are so many shiny new toys. Please stop it!! Force
me to keep using the old one i hid in the cupboard.

Linux should not allow so many choices! It should be more like Windows.

On the other hand i will be quite glad to settle people down on 10.04LTS
and let them rest there for a few years. I stuck with 9.04 for about a
year. There's still 9months support for it so even now i don't HAVE to
upgrade.

To upgrade i test a LiveCd of it
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD
try it on a small partition away from my main stable install
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
and than decide whether to commit to it or use a separate /home
Oh, dang it, more choices!!

Here's this link again

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.
