Search the web. Investigate. We've had this discussion a thousand times before. It's not that we want to be different from Microsoft Windows. It is that we want to do things right. There is no logic in placing a button in the middle of the keyboard that will launch an application! We could make it so, that pressing the 'e'-key ten times in less than an hour, launches a disk sanity check. We don't. Why? Because it doesn't make sense! It won't make any more sense if a billion people sais it makes sense. People are being fooled into thinking it's the way it should be. People have been fooled that way before, and history have judged them accordingly.
We want a system to survive the challenges of time, and the challenges of a free society. We want to build a platform that can rival the platforms of the ancient Rome, only in the realm of thought and electronics combined. We want a system to match our beloved Terra Mater -- she deserves nothing less. We want to evolve, not repeat. I understand your wishes to attract the Microsoft Windows users, but what I want is to create a hypersynaptic humanity. A sensible reality, far beyond the realms of Excel and Word. Communication is not a tool, it is a way of life, it is a way to achieve our global goal of survival. We're not imitating anyone, even if we're actively trying to be pragmatic. We want to use our expertise in such a way that the world can forget the old ways of the ancient ones and focus on building a communication platform on which the Goddess can rearrise, whether we realise it or not. Most of the world now demand regard for Gaia; the religious and the atheists alike. We want to make it so, just because we can. We are planning the ressurrection of our Tellus, as a blend of the religious and the scientific way of thinking. I do. I suspect most of the Ubuntu community does. Ubuntu is a chain of the link, although mostly an unknown name to the masses of the uninformed ones. We want logic to prevail. How would we win by imitating previous errors? Microsoft rejected the Information Super-highway for such a long time. We've evolved far beyond that. We want software to be like salt is in the blood of all humanity; the glue that combines our thought and our collective cognitive skills, in such a way that we can evolve further in the eternal realm of change. We are change. Thank you for for taking the time to read my ridiculous response to these ridicuouls ideas. We want to end ridicule. Come on. Let's focus on real issues.
