I'm reading over these comments and to be honest, this goes beyond
disappointment. Quite frankly, it would appear that 'Ubuntu' is no
longer living up to it's name. I don't consider it at all people
oriented to remove a usability feature like internet access for what is
more than a small segment of users who have no choice but to use dial up
modems.
To suggest that ppoe and wireless broadband covers most use cases is
just plain ignorant. Has anyone actually looked at any statistics before
making this claim?! I think not! If they had, then they would know that
they are in fact leaving out a rather large segment of users. You guys
have taken several steps backwards when it comes to selling Ubuntu as a
usable version of Linux for the common folk!
If you want to push people back to Windows, mission accomplished. That
is what you are doing. Wake up guys! Much of your target user base is
oblivious to most of the 'under the hood' features of Linux that are
better than Windows. All you have is usability and presentability to
sell these users on Ubuntu, so taking a big chunk of that away for many
users isn't going to win you any popularity contests.
