- -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share Date: Fri, 06 Jun 2008 09:35:36 -0000 From: Tom Janes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: Bug 1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Breaking News! Little did anyone know, but Microsoft has been working in conjunction with Linux programmers and users to completely, and for all time, erradicate this problem. They have been working covertly, though. In the latter part of 2007, Microsoft released the new Vista OS. However, the company never informed anyone that Vista was marketed as a ploy to get everyone to switch over to a Linux based deriviative OS. This was accomplished by Microsoft programmers, who, deciding they've had enough from their employer, wrote code that was user unfriendly in both its operation and functionality. Because of this, millions of new Linux users are streaming into the market, dumping their Windows products to load up a new OS that is far, far better. I know, as I am one of them. After spending over $1000 on two new machines that came loaded with Vista, I am now in the process of scraping every Microsoft product from my library, and I will smash my machines into a million pieces before I ever install that junk again. To all Linux, Ubunto, Kabunto, and others programming these systems, I just want to say thanks. I would also like to extend this thanks to all Microsoft's programmers as well, for if it was not for their incompetence, I would not have made the change. - -- Microsoft has a majority market share https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug.

This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix. Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry, restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full potential, globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry. Steps to repeat: 1. Visit a local PC store. What happens: 2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software pre-installed. 3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed. What should happen: 1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like Ubuntu. 2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and benefits would be apparent and known by all. 3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes. - -- Peace!
