[Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share
Btw why don't ubuntu community demand free computers, so free hardware too?
Why is it just that operanting system and software that are demanded to be free?
Operating system and software is the sould of computers, so at least I
think that they are more valuable product of good work than just
hardware. I appreciate good work. I would even willing to pay for
example 10 euros of ubuntu, so of really good ubuntu, if such would
exist. Those licenses of Windows in preinstalled machines cost only
5-15% of the price of those ready to use computers. That isn't bad price
at all of that all value.
I think that instead of putting that all energy in developing Unity, canonical would had been wiser to develop better graphical interface for majority users, so for those "normal users" to cope with ubuntu.
And to participate in projects that develop genome and kde. canonical got blind focusing so much, again, in something like unity, that doesn't give so much benefit after all - compared to the work with it. canonical forgot the users again and worshipped the product itself.

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.
