> Yes. Still, the first thing purchasers read once landed on their
Website is a despicable "Windows® . Life without Walls™ . Dell
recommends Windows 7." in bold characters in a strategic position, right
below the search field and the main menus, and above supportive links.
Like screaming to your girlfriend: "Darling, you know I love you. It's
just that I prefer to fuck someone else".

I just hate when so called "Independent Hardware Vendors" do that. It
tells you a lot about all the dirty deals they do with M$ behind the
scenes. No wonder why we somehow just can't make it no matter how hard
we try. And by the way - this 1st class marketing bull$hit calls for one
of my favorite quotes: "Who needs Windows and Gates in the world without
walls and fences?". That obviously implies using "Windown$®" is
logically in direct contradiction to "Life without Walls™", but I
seriously doubt that's news to any of you…

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.
