Pretty standard puff/PR piece but the "install under Windows" thing is pretty cool.


True, but it is good to see the mainstream media talking about Linux on the desktop. Vista is the best thing that ever happened to Linux :)


Stuff like this I tend to find interesting on kind of a "meta" level -- it's interesting for me to track how once obscure technology percolates into the mainstream. They're ... well, not astounding misguided at this point. :-)


It is great that more ordinary customers are starting to use Ubuntu. It is a great platform and if people are smart enough, it (Linux) will become the top used platform system anywhere.
