The name of Breezy+1

You will never topple microsoft or vista until more software houses and
even manufacturers of other computer operated goods start porting to
linux.  In the manufacturing sector alone here in the great land down
under, linux hasn't even been heard of and all software for design,
controlling CNC equipment, programming PLC's, to CAD/CAM is all windows
based.  Most probably most will not move to vista, a lot are still on
win98, but they could never move to linux, because that would mean
giving up their businesses, there is just no alternative and there
won't be for probably 20 years, if ever in my life time :(



Still, the best shot linux/Ubuntu have at taking back some of MS's
dominance is at home users, but it needs a hell of a lot more polish
yet to convince XP users to move over - from my experience that is.  I
mean a simple task like CD burning is still a huge chore on linux/Gnome
compared to windows.  That and driver installation.



Now having said all that, Ubuntu linux is the first linux I've kept and
regularly use on my computer and I've tried all the others let me tell
you. It is also the first linux I've known to get die hard windows
users to take a second look at, so you must be doing something right :)
freedom is the key and consistency, by supporting the next version of
Ubuntu for so many years is the best news I've heard in a long time,
this can only be a great thing for Ubuntu.



All the best and I'll be in there fighting for you in any way I can!
