Comment 253 for bug 1

In my company (global audio brand) bar one (mainframe) exception, all office applications and related systems run on windows. Inroads have been made in some areas with Edgy being used for development boxes, production 'appliances' and development/production servers.

We hand out Ubuntu CD's to anyone who expresses an interest but as with most corporate environments, we don't make the decisions, we can only demonstrate and advocate.

Re:previous posters comment, I couldn't agree more. If people aren't educated with regards to the bigger picture of OS's, they are destined to become the corporate decision makers of tomorrow, persisting the bug.

Self-preservation may also come into it - like 'nobody got fired for buying IBM kit' a decade or more ago, today 'nobody gets fired for buying M$ tech' - it maintains the status-quo and is within the decision makers comfort-zone (albeit quite small :)

In any case, Ubuntu works (mostly) for me and is getting better all the time, keep the good work up!

p.s. shameless bcm43xx bug plug: I _really_ would like this to work on a 64bit/2GB ram machine, though I'd settle for not causing a kernel panic :)
