[ubuntu-uk] Grauniad tech section: Perhaps Ubuntu
Hi all - Don't know if anyone else caught sight of this last week, but at the end of a piece by Charles Arthur on Vista, he writes: Still, at least there's one ray of hope. Winer only said it [Vista] has the smell of death about it. When that turns into the stench of death, it's time to run. Run what? Perhaps Ubuntu. At least it's cheap. Not the most hearty of recommendations ever, but there we go.

I'm not so sure.. If ubuntu was bread, would you use this as your campaign slogen: Ubuntu - tastes better then charcoal besides: 1. first rule of advertising - focus on a positive message (not on smearing the opposition) 2. seriously, how many people do you think read that article and know what smell of death refers to? As for my T, I'd like to have Ubuntu, it works, [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008/8/30 Mac [EMAIL PROTECTED] Alan Pope wrote: On Sat, Aug 30, 2008 at 11:19:26AM +0100, Josh Blacker wrote: Still, at least there's one ray of hope.
