Comment 1301 for bug 1

Hello,

Excuse-me, but i just had an idea that you must certainly allready think about, but i fell that i have to tell you:

Well, let's look at apple, it is getting bigger everyday.
One of the "key card" of apple is that they sell software and hardware.
They aren't "just" a software-seller.

It means that the OS of apple doesn't need to be able to work on every platform, with every proc, every graphic or sound card, etc....

So, it costs less to develop, it's lighter, it works better (as hard and soft are designed to work together).
Efforts and investments can go to the "user-friendly" aspect.
And it works very very well...

It also means that, if the "free" OS are getting bigger parts in the market, microsoft, and all the companies who sell only software, might be in big trouble.
But not the one that sells also hardware...

So, my question is:
What if ubuntu were manufacturing and selling it's own "all-in-one", apple-like, computers ?

Forgive my bad english.
