I did not face this problem so far - however, I am not a power user of
Launchpad.
It is the first time that I read about such problems. Is this a recent
problem or an old problem?

If there are fundamental flaws I am sure there is a way to fix it - if
it is just to use a different software. BTW: Have you ever reported a
bug on redhat Fedora? That's where I was annoyed by the poor
performance. Maybe they solved that - don't know - already a longer
while ago.

At least at Microsoft they have access to a bug tracking system - even
if it does not help me...

Best regards, Martin.

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.
