Comment 316 for bug 1

 Hello, I am from Romania and here microsoft is the majority even if many try to spread opensource.Here you can find computers with linux preinstalled but those who buy them are simply doing that because are cheaper without a microsoft license and when they go home they simply reformat the hard disk and install a pirated version of windows.One day someone even offered me 25$ just to delete the preinstalled Red Hat on his computer.So I think that the problem is not Microsoft but the people who are using computers, you see most of them just buy a computer to watch movies listen to music or browsing the web and most of them don't even care about the software cause I saw many windows users who install programs with a double click and uninstalling them using ctrl+a del :)
 I worked for mobile telephony company which used a browser based aplication for making contracts and whe asked if I could just install Ubuntu they went crazy... the same thing when I have set up OpenOffice.It seems everybody are scared of Linux and nobody want to give a try and whe i say that I am talking about the basic computer users they don't want to see a console they don't want to use wine to play games or hack lirc to use a remote.I think linux will spread when will be more idiot friendly.
 I am and will be a Ubuntu and open source advocate and i think is up to us to change the way people think about ubuntu and linux in general I even offered free consultation and help just to make and keep people using Ubuntu so this the the thing we all have to do to beat "the enemy " :) and win the war.
