[Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share

[Mertiki]

I think that Microsoft and Linux Ubuntu aren't on the same egal ground
to this point.

Microsoft Windows will NEVER give the choice to a user to dual boot with
another system but Ubuntu will.. but we shouldn't expect Ubuntu to be
completely flawless when working with closed technologies that they
didn't invented ( like FAT32 or NTFS ), it's already a miracle that
Linux can work with NTFS partitions, I think that this should be always
improved but we can't expect it to work without risks, even in Microsoft
installer anyway. And the RAID drivers you got for Windows, does the
producer of your RAID makes drivers for Linux?? I have doubts.

I agree with you to say that Linux Ubuntu should be more "all working in
few easy automatics steps" and I think that it already beat Microsoft on
some point with installation because Linux detect everything and make
all works when drivers exists. The bitter point is that Ubuntu have
access to a restricted driver list, this would be a very important point
to be improved! I don't personnaly know about RAID 0 so maybe that
Ubuntu have to make some works on this. And I TOTALLY agree that there
should be a REALLY more easy way to manage dual boot in Linux, editing
/boot/grub/menu.lst isn't pretty user friendly.

But I don't think that you can install Microsoft Windows without loosing
all your data, except with another partition which will not be erased,
but that's all the same for Windows or Linux.
