Comment 785 for bug 1

This bug will be chipped away in time. Launchpad itself is the perfect, or at least on the right track, to unify bugzillas and other bug trackers. This is key as some bugs are fixed in upstream but in down stream like in Ubuntu itself.

Ubuntu will also have a fighting chance at smashing this bug but integrating with MS as much as possible. Things like WINE and SAMBA and ability to join MS Active Directory Domain servers.

In a homiogenous computer environment, eventually the more secure and best software will win and become a mono-os culture of linux distros, including SuSE, Madriva, Redhat and more or any linux distro that wishes to subscribe.

The fact, Ubuntu is able to satisfy the non-free drivers existing in seperate repositories allow PRO CHOICE if you want to for instance instann the nv driver or the nvidia binary driver as a restricted driver. Again, satisfies both parties. You have to be able to play music and movies, using the current massive market for them. In time nvidia will open source as is evident with Intel and many more wireless and nic drivers have opened up.... in due time,until then the restricted drivers work around is only logical.

Mark Shuttle worth is well rounded, highly successful already, passionate and has money to fund the project where needed. He also knows how to speak well and fast and hit all the right key points by deriving from debian. And probably the nail in the deal is that Ubuntu does NOT have two licences, like openSUSE, Fedora, Ubuntu is Ubuntu and will always be free. Yet, is combined. In other words, no duel licences BS. this is very cool.
