At home I have 100% Linux-Penetration.
In the office I also work on Ubuntu. - So I Ubuntu has a 100%
penetration for me.
But wait: I have a Virtualbox with Windows running because I need to
support customers using Windows.

How many percent is a daily-work-Linux-Box with a virtual machine
running Windows? Honestly one would need to consider working hours on
the particular OS, right?

I think in the transition phase a lot will work with virtual machines
or using Windows Terminal (or Citrix) Servers.

But for this bug it seems to be not relevant because what counts is
the preinstalled Ubuntu machines offered in shops. Maybe when filing
that bug people considered that would be achieved earlier than "real"
market penetration. I am not sure if usage penetration will not be
earlier achieved than penetration in shop offers. ;-)
