That would be HP if you are talking about hardware. The stock exchange does not give a measure on a specific product.

No. The biggest problem is the long-term market share. Or in other words the user share. There Windows still dominate.

Here we can clearly see that while Ubuntu does not measure Android does.
I have no doubt that Chrome OS will also be strong on the market. Why?
Because Google is a big company and when they say "we have a new
operating system" the hardware suppliers and market channels line up to
be the ones that can put the Google logo on their product.

Free does not have to mean non-commercial. People still need support, priority bug-fixes and a nice paper and plastic box with over-designed printing that gives them the impression of being consumers. 
We do have several companies that provide this. Mandriva and Xandros is two examples. However neither of them has been very successful at marketing.

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.
