When I think of Ubuntu, I mean the operating system/gnome desktop rather than the bundled applications. Myself, I never see any crashes, and the only software I cannot find a decent version of is a business-quality accounting program. You are right, Microsoft does not have the atitutude of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" and we can see the result in an operating system that gets slower with every release. I use OpenOffice every day and much prefer it to the quicksand-like current version of word and excel, with their tiny usable screen area. Perhaps its flaws are partially the result of having release deadlines set. I understand that new interface configurations are necessary to be added (eg support for touch screens or wii controllers), but I was just asking: do they have to be rushed out on a 6 month schedule? How 'bout some testing time and debugging of current system? I am not trying to offend anyone out there, just posing a legitimate question that came up when reading the original post...
