Comment 671 for bug 1

Chris, you understood the bug report the opposite way. Indeed making Ubuntu the best it can be does not require a majority market share: the bug report suggest that a majority market share for Ubuntu requires it to be the best it can be.

IMHO, this alone won't fix the bug because if you buy a laptop to install Ubuntu, it is likely to be pre-installed with Windows, so Windows market share is unchanged. The only bugfix I can see is being able to refuse Windows EULA and get refund for unused Windows licences such as:

Money more than free excellence will make people shift to Linux. When people will they save 130€ (~ 200$) to use Ubuntu, it will make a bigger difference than a bunch of nice features and bugfixes.
