Comment 1097 for bug 1

Hello Freidrich ! First, all operating systems have bugs.
Probably Ubuntu is one of the best versions of Linux, but it is not, and
never will be, completely free of bugs. Most are minor.
Some O/S's are littered with bugs, many crucial and painful. For example
"Windows Vista".
On comparison Ubuntu is much safer and far more "bug-free" than Vista.
You will see advertisements in every media for Windows "7", all of the line
was done by numerical code.
Is "7" great ? Who knows, maybe.
If, yes IF, the Linux community wanted to ante up millions of dollars,
Euros, Pounds, Yen , Pesos etc to advertise Linux this whole situation would
change quickly.
IF, we all donated $50, or E50 etc, we could launch an ad campaign.
So, it's about money.
Base Linux O/S's are free. You can pay for support, customising etc.
So, your problem with one bug should be addressed in "Launchpad".
Tell me, is there something similar in Microsoft or Apple ?
