Or maybe the chap has a problem with English given that he always talks
about completely different things in his replies to my pet peeves about
Ubuntu's suitableness/manageability in business environments with over
20 machines.
I love how he goes on about non-techies when I have said nothing about
Ubuntu in the home and seems to think that needs at home equally apply
in the corporate environment.
I wait for the day when Manish will point to the Ubuntu gaming market
and say, who needs corporate approval?
