Comment 143 for bug 1

Some of us are poor college students with no money who use Ubuntu partly because it's free. While it is also the best OS I've ever used, I would rather donate than be required to pay for it. Of course, I use it for other reasons, too, but the most convincing argument to give it a try is "It's FREE!"

I'm still trying to find other workarounds for this bug, though. People don't seem to be willing to change. My girlfriend and I use Ubuntu, but we are trying to convince others to use it too.

This bug is very critical because I have to format my computers to work around it, losing all data on the hard drive.
