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

[Daniel Kelly]

I disagree with you, here's why...

The Ubuntu UI is great, but they aren't familiar with it.  I don't know
enough about linux to fix some of the issues they may have -and- what
about when they want to use a new windows program that comes out and
doesn't work on emu's...  Gamers will stick with windows until linux has
everything and has all the proprietary drivers they need.

I don't think thats the best way to promote it because it will paint
Ubuntu in a bad light when they experience an issue that has no
resolution, or they simply get too frustrated to learn the UI and
openoffice.

I could see a lot of my friends using Ubuntu for certain things and if
they like it they'll keep it, if not they'll wipe it and install
windows.

Lets get the people who are likely to stick with Ubuntu to use it for
now and focus on people who will get frustrated and bash it later.  We
can increase the demand for drivers, better software, and overall more
functionality if we get people who actually use it.  Gradually, open
source software will replace software running on Windows, like Microsoft
Office, IE, etc.  Its already happening.  Pretty soon there will be no
need to run windows anymore except because of familiarity.  Then Ubuntu
will get pushed on them naturally and they will have to switch.
