I really appreciate the Tux logo, I believe that  Tux is  about the 
only public branding Linux has. Most general computer users I come  
across think computers *are* 'windows', and what is an operating 
system anyway?

I can point out to them their choice is Windows, Tux or Mac. They dont 
know what an operating system is, they certainly are not interested in 
choice of Distros, but Tux is there as a single idea, a single 
unifying concept, at a broad and simple level.

I would prefer that Ubuntu used Tux , although I understand and accept 
they do not, and I strongly support Ubuntu.

When a much hoped for day arrives, when people I meet everyday think 
in terms of computers being either Windows, Ubuntu, or Mac, then Tux 
as a symbol will begin to be less relevant.

Until then Tux should mean unity and much needed central branding.
