Would be nice if developers only had to support Linux (unfortunately; not 
enough people use Linux yet, especially for commercial applications). It's a 
lot better than trying to run 5 different OSs at once to test for 
compatibility with different operating systems (I try to make my software 
work on Windows 7, Ubuntu Linux, Windows XP, Windows Phone 7, and Gentoo 
Linux).

Bug description:
  Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC marketplace.
  This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix.

  Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry,
  restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and
  limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full
  potential, globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry.

  Steps to repeat:

  1. Visit a local PC store.

  What happens:
  2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software 
pre-installed.
  3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed.

  What should happen:
  1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like 
Ubuntu.
  2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and 
benefits would be apparent and known by all.
  3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes.
