Sorry Mark, but as many above I also cannot consider this bug being fixed. Only last week I wanted to buy a new Canonical certified hardware from Dell - they definitely do not want to sell a non-Windows PC to me. Best offer I could get (after insisting) is at about 1 third more expensive. I never had such problems before with Dell and of course this is not the first time I want to buy a non-Windows PC. - Just to give an example. Similar issue at other places.

Most people owning a tablet also own a PC. For productive work in most cases a laptop or PC is still the best choice. Tablets and Smartphones are still only a secondary device used for emailing and news-reading (or playing) in the very most cases. > It's worth noting that today, if you're into cloud computing, the > Microsoft IAAS team are both technically excellent and very focused on > having ALL OS's including Linux guests like Ubuntu run extremely well on > Azure, making them a pleasure to work with. At the server side Linux already won a long time ago, but not at client side and I always thought that Bug #1 focuses on the client.
