Comment 428 for bug 1

I think that the Microsoft majority market share is a bug because we don't expect Linux or Microsoft either to be THE OS. The minority of Linux Ubuntu would be a better name for that bug.

Of course, the initial goal of Linux isn't to replace Windows and I don't think that Linux Ubuntu try to aim that goal, Linux Ubuntu just aim to expand itself and be a good OS for everyone, for the developper, professionnal and for the home user! Why not? Linux is a very great OS that could be interesting for a lot of people needs.

And Linux Ubuntu don't aim to force user to use it!!!! Like Tama00 said, Linux isn't a company and don't make any profit, but it doesn't mean that Linux Ubuntu don't aim to have a bigger affluence, because it's a great project that aim to win popularity, like Firefox! Because Linux Ubuntu goal is to have more satisfied users, it will evolve it that way. This is not forcing people to use Ubuntu but inviting people and being more adapted to their needs, and invite them to give participation in the evolution of that OS.

That's a great goal! This gives more value and visibility to the Linux kernel which can be more popular, not for money purposes but just because a project that don't touch anybody doesn't have the same value than a project that have a lot of testers, users and a big amount of people around it. A project like this, it's gold.
