This is admittedly an advantage to Ubuntu in that it can run really well and
fast on machines that Windows has failed. However I have concerns about
driving this forward as a key feature or advantage to Ubuntu. Ubuntu will
become associated as a method of just fixing up old computers and not one to
use on new ones. Wouldn't this give us the same image as say Windows 2000?

It may be best to use this sort of marketing after Ubuntu has been
established main-stream on more modern computers.

Yes that certainly rings a bell. A dual booting friend of mine has a
neighbour with a very slow vista PC. After talking, she wanted to try a
ubuntu dual boot, and it has worked well, much faster. Now she still uses
Windows but not very much. She is a grandparent, and her family and extended
family also wanted to see it and want to try it too. At least in principle,
try it .....  Trouble is, family life is pretty full and 'change' is
necessarily time consuming. However, at least more people know of ubuntu and
that it works!
