Of course. Windows Update is a joke.

> Bug description:
>  Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC marketplace.
>  This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix.
>
>  Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry,
>  restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and
>  limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full
>  potential, globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry.
>
>  Steps to repeat:
>
>  1. Visit a local PC store.
>
>  What happens:
>  2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software
> pre-installed.
>  3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed.
>
>  What should happen:
>  1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like
> Ubuntu.
>  2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and
> benefits would be apparent and known by all.
>  3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes.
