Everyone agrees this gives Ubuntu a bad name and needs to be fixed.
QA staff ask everyone to stop comments.

Let's face it, Ubuntu is a great tool

This installer bug clearly has a major impact on Ubuntu:
a) Fewer people in the public to try Ubuntu
b) making angry people out of the ones who happen to try it.
c) fewer word of mouth recommendations
d) people who judge a book by the cover

simple suggested fix:

all installer screens should work in 640x480 pixel resolution, and 4
bit color or black/white depth.

also, if video card not detected offer a text only set of installer screens.
