Sorry, getting a bit tooo tense lol. Many apols for my last posting!

Hopefully LTS releases get pushed more at the beginning of their cycle
but as the new one approaches the intermediate releases are more
"trendy" and more likely to "wow" people.

Certainly it seemed that 80.04 was pushed much more heavily until about
9.10. I think it's reasonable to hop releases, perhaps do an annual
upgrade. The great thing is that you are GIVEN the choice. You are NOT
FORCED to keep upgrading. Each release is supported for 18months!!

As keeps on drearily being pointed out if you were only allowed to buy 1
type of food all the time, say you were only allowed to eat apples, and
only ones that were picked at a certain date. As time went by the
prospect of eating the ageing apples would wear a bit thin & eventually
surely you would be outraged?

If there was only 1 movie or 1 tele series then how often woul you want
to go to the movies or watch tele?

If there was only 1 type of shirt that you were allowed to buy & only 1
size available then how happy would everyone be with that?

Only 1 flavour of ice-cream. Only 1 colour of skin? How acceptable would
that be?

We need diversity for healthy reasons, to avoid dying of boredom.
Shaking things up is good. If someone hadn't shaken a certain tree on a
certain day then would graphitti exist today? Intractable problems are
often solved by someone taking a fresh perspective. How can we hope to
generate fresh perspective if everything stays the same?

Diversity breeds success!
Regards from
Tom :)

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.
