Comment 414 for bug 1

I disagree with you, here's why...

The Ubuntu UI is great, but they aren't familiar with it. I don't know enough about linux to fix some of the issues they may have -and- what about when they want to use a new windows program that comes out and doesn't work on emu's... Gamers will stick with windows until linux has everything and has all the proprietary drivers they need.

I don't think thats the best way to promote it because it will paint Ubuntu in a bad light when they experience an issue that has no resolution, or they simply get too frustrated to learn the UI and openoffice.

I could see a lot of my friends using Ubuntu for certain things and if they like it they'll keep it, if not they'll wipe it and install windows.

Lets get the people who are likely to stick with Ubuntu to use it for now and focus on people who will get frustrated and bash it later. We can increase the demand for drivers, better software, and overall more functionality if we get people who actually use it. Gradually, open source software will replace software running on Windows, like Microsoft Office, IE, etc. Its already happening. Pretty soon there will be no need to run windows anymore except because of familiarity. Then Ubuntu will get pushed on them naturally and they will have to switch.
