A different bug

Since I've started using Ubuntu, mostly at home and sometime at office, there is no going back. I haven't had success using Lotus Notes, but most other applications work.

I do almost everything on Ubuntu: chat, browse, use office suite, watch DVDs, organize, play games and even blog using the desktop client.

When I visited Ubuntu bugtracker, saw this amusing bug:

Bug #1:

Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC marketplace. This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix.

Importance:
Critical

Status:
Confirmed

Description:


Microsoft has a majority market share | Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry, restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full potential, globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry.

Steps to repeat:
1. Visit a local PC store.
What happens:
2. Observe that a majority of PC's for sale have non-free software pre-installed

It is funny, check it out...!

It's good to see people promoting Ubuntu and anything other than MS, it's also nice the preach for others to try to do the same.

Keep it up, and thanks for the link to my blog.
