I do not agree with this bug being fixed. Even if the PC market is declining, it's still going to be here for a long while, as tablets/phones are currently consumer-centric and we still need workstations. That market still has only two major players in it: Mac OS and Windows. Which means Microsoft will still lead it.
This is still the big chapter where FOSS fails badly. And #1 should show that and should be open until FOSS gets polished as it should. Hardware support (and I'm looking especially at you Nvidia and AMD/ATI!), endless minor bugs that even when confirmed are never checked, friendliness to the end-user (when things go bad, it's back to the command line, not too helpful for my grandma), and an easy way to find software that you need which runs on your platform with at least one proper choice in each category (Ubuntu Software Center has failed so far, but, no worries, Windows Store has failed too). Only if the shiny new Unity will fix these, then it will have the chance to succeed, and this bug can be closed in a few years after that (2016-2017?). If you want to say the market has changed and Canonical will no longer focus on PCs, mark it as Won't fix. If you want to say Canonical won't focus only on PCs, go ahead. But doesn't mean the problem has been fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 Title: Microsoft has a majority market share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/clubdistro/+bug/1/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
