Yes. Full Ack!

No, it's not a lie - it's a damn lie!

But seriously: Yesterday in train I have seen a young woman with a
super stylish Sony notebook with Vista or Win 7 on it, needing 3
attempts of typing a word until finding out the caps lock is on and
spending a minute on adjusting the spaces in the Word document header
to have a text centered and the (of course manually entered) current
date on the right. - You can be sure that there is a large amount of
people working that way and seriously: For those it is completely
irrelevant if they have menus or ribbons or whatever OS underneath.
They are completely lost anyway. - This is a reason why I find it more
important to focus development of Ubuntu on those who want to be
productive and not on the completely newbies. - Those who have a small
rest of flexibiilty will adapt to a little changing in the GUI and the
others are lost anyway - with their old or new OS and applications.

Best regards,

Martin.
