1) Ubuntu is separate from Launchpad. But I thought Ubuntu has some kind
of relationship to Launchpad. Oh yes, I remember: Ubuntu does not have a
bug tracking system of its own - it uses Launchpad. That's a absolutely
important relationship between Ubuntu and Launchpad, but let's ignore
it, anyway, so we can keep our distance from the Launchpad project and
ignore the fact that Ubuntu development is crippled without a properly
functioning bug tracking system.

2) Because Microsoft (allegedly) lacks a (public) bug tracking system
that works, it is perfectly ok for Ubuntu to lack one too. We can be
absolutely certain that none of Microsoft's employees and contractors
have ever used the internal Microsoft bug tracking system. It just sits
there all day, unused, untouched. And there is no semi-public interface
via KB.

3) Ubuntu is beyond constructive criticism. The Launchpad bug tracking
system basically works - promise! :-)

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.
