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

 

Hi :)

Absence from the list does not mean anything.  If something is on the list then 
it definitely works but if it is not on the list then it almost certainly will 
work too.  It is a good list for ensuring that new purchases are going to work 
fairly easily.

It is impossible to find&list everything that linux works on.  These sorts of 
lists tend to be generated by a small percentage of users using the "System 
Testing" tool or just reporting back to the list about hardware they personally 
have found easy.

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.
