You missed the section on how it would have lots of barbie/brats-related
doll stuff with it, my little pony, etc...This is mandatory, if you wish
to target ubuntu to 6 year olds.  If you wish to market to young girls,
you need to properly understand your audience.

And it's utter discrimination to not offer a action-packed ubuntu with
figurines, and male branding, to attract young boys into using Ubuntu!

But would 6 year olds really be using their own operating system anyway?
