For the unexercised user efficiency differences of one or the other
operating system are irrelevant - not so for the power user or IT guy!
So all those driving Ubuntu (or other Linux distros) forward with
their experience and with their desires for improving efficiency are
the key group - they are the experts others will trust. Who would you
rather ask which new car to buy - the flower lady at the corner or the
taxi driver?

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.
