The Ubuntu Developer Summit is going on in Florida right now and Mark
Shuttleworth has already taken the stage to talk about where he sees
Linux in the next five years. In this talk, he discussed what he saw as
key challenges that the community needs to tackle to help push
widespread adoption of the os.  What did he place first among these
challenges?

Form factors.

Not widened hardware support, not the graphics , sound, and networking
issues Ubuntu faces today but getting Ubuntu on more devices is
Shuttleworth's 'first hey challenge'.

Such shortsightedness really worries me about the future of the OS.
Marketshare is more than just a pure numbers game, Mark.

What do you guys think?


Anthony
