Before we even can think about making, Ubuntu Linux mainstream we MUST get all well know programs that work on a Windows PC to work on a Ubuntu PC.
Ofcourse we have WINE, Win4Lin or Vmware that can, if you just take you're time. Work with almost any Windows program. But a regular user just want to click and install. A regular user don't want to open a Package manager or a terminal to install a program. Today I thing Linux has a really big problem because of games not working on Linux. This is prior to fix, I know that there are some games that are actually working fine and almost easier to install in Linux than on windows. But what if I want to install a game from 95 or so, that will not be easy. So as an conclusion we can say that every thing that a user is about to do on a Linux computer shall be done with a maximum of ONE mouse click or ONE double click. If we together can manage to get this to work maybe we can think about taking market shares from Microsoft in about ten years or so. It's not the user fault that he or she don't use Linux it is and will always be Linux fault. It is just to hard to understand... Windows is a easy thing to understand, and learn. When I first met my computer, I didn't have Internet. Or any forums to ask for help in. I just learned with time. So please stop discussing this "bug" and start thinking in terms whit out forums, support or data admins. A Ubuntu computer shall work with out even having to visit a Ubuntu- forum. It shall just work with whatever the user wants to get done on his or hers Ubuntu computer, than we can get it mainstream. So for good sake don't look at Microsoft as an devil that just kill all ways of getting Linux mainstream, the problem lies within Linux, it is to hard to use for any regular user. And just so you know, I don't hate Windows and I don't love Linux, I just dont like them. -- Microsoft has a majority market share https://launchpad.net/bugs/1 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
