Comment 624 for bug 1

I agree Microsoft has too much of the market share and Free Software should be kicking their butts. I have to correct the bug report a bit though. One way we could achieve this Free Software bliss is by only having Free Software in the Ubuntu Base install (by the FSF guidelines). Richard Stallman has often said that a distro with non-free packages creates the space for more proprietary software to creep in. This seems to be true with the current state of things. I don't thing that Ubuntu should sacrifice Functionality just replace the Functionality of the Proprietary Software with Free Software packages that do the same job. The only way to achieve this is by Rejecting the Proprietary Software and force developers to either release their code in a free software license or by replacing their code with ours. Then we will have both the amazing powered Software and the full power of Free Software Ethics at our disposal to trample the competition.
