I think that MY greatest frustration with Ubuntu is NOT that it solves
Bug 1 (why are people wedded to windows), but that it tries it hardest
to attract Mac users (Here is the Latest and greatest software
released every 6 months, with the latest whiz bang interface whom many
people believe is the best way to operate the computer).

As for Bug #1 we are failing and failing immensely. Windows XP is easy
and compatible. Its comfortable, it's nice and friendly I know where
everything is (ok I don't, but I can find it). XP has been on the
market for over 10 years and still very useable.

We don't release Ubuntu and keep a basic, easy user interface. We go
whiz bang flash trashy and scare people away. We don't spend a year
testing and perfecting our ease of use, our Humanity (our Ubuntu).

We have missed our target audience. We are aiming for tech savvy Mac
users when we need to pitch at Granny's using rusty PC's
