This is not a bug at all, but the result of many bugs, as folow: 1 - Market place is dominated by money. 2 - The governament (at least in Brazil) make rules "far from the people's eyes" in deteriment of the lobby power. 3 - The consumer is used to use windows. 4 - The saler push the OS price to the consumer. 5 - The consumer acept the price for its convenience.
So, to fix eatch previus bugs, you must: 1 - The market place will always be ruled by the money. Ther is no fix for it at all; 2 - Push the lobby power to Linux way, using money to pay to the politicians to approve laws that increases the use of Linux. Note: At least in Brazil, and its may seems to be contraditory, but the governament has expecial financial credit lines to computer(desktop and notebooks) that is sell with Linux, also has rules to incentivate the use of linux on public department. Also the ABNT (Brazilian Agency of Tecnical Standarts[free translation]) just aproved the use of the OFD as a official Brasilian Documents Standart. So the use of lobby culd be very low; 3 - Get the final user to be used to use linux, starting at school the use o linux, using the fix number 2, aproving laws that is mandatory or high recomended the use of Linux on schools, not only public, but private also; 4 - To fix bug #4 need a small explanation: If you buy a computer and it has a OEM install of Windows, if you don't accept the terms (http://www.microsoft.com/brasil/windowsxp/pro/eula.mspx), you receive a ~U$50 refund back referring the licence price. Making comercial that show this diference, requesting people that buy computer with Windows OEM pre-instaled to not accept the terms and ask the manufactory to give the money back, will pushing the manufactory industrial to give free software on its computers; 5 - It's fixed using all the above fixes. Its is a long way to fix this bug, but can be done. Also, to increase the speed of fixing this bug, the folow things can be done (no order at all): 1 - Call to "agency against piracy" and relate all the piracy of your city and ask to them to execute some action against it. Note: This seens to be a extremus act, but you are just helping the use of Linux, as it is FREE. 2 - Companies that sale computer with Linux (or the cosumer that purchase the computer) culd receve a ~U$50 back per licence, with they still using linux after a year, with all the updates. Canonical, Ibm,HP, Sun, Google (why not?), Red Hat and others can rise a fund to it. 3 - Make a Standard. Yes, make a standard. All this companies (Ibm, Sun, HP etc), witch one running to one direction. Why they don't stop pushing Linux to all direction and starting to push Linux to ONE direction? For example, IBM can sale a expecific program to run on a sistem, but the system is the same for the HP products. Ok be open, but better run together. 4 - To impruve or in a better way, to unify a certification program. Put LPI, IBM, HP, Sun, Canonical, Debian, Red Hat, Mandrake, DELL, Apple (why not?), Gnome, XFCE4, Apache, Samba, OpenLDAP, OpenOffice, Gimp, Kernel.org, *BSDs, and many many others that make all the GNU exist, make a BIG and together certify program, mabe making tousands of diferent certs. but all in the same program, and make it free! 5 - At the same time, all this companies are make comercial of linux. Put a video on television showing ubuntu+compiz, showing giants companies server with Linux (GNU), helping other companies to make "Get the REAL facts" with GNU. And show it on many pages on internet. Google can help it! Please companies, don't only USE linux. HELP LINUX to get BETTER ! ------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, this is the bug fix. Its long, its hard, and its is expensive. And it may not work at all. Note: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE sorry about my TERRIBLE POOR English. I'm not a native English spoken, and I'm not using it in a long time. -- Microsoft has a majority market share https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
