There has been a lot of talk about Android maybe making its way to various netbooks. However, thanks to the boys and girls at Canonical, Android might be taking a completely different direction when it comes to these little laptops: they're building an execution environment which will allow Android applications to run on normal Linux distributions.

Instead of focusing on these attention-grabbing projects, I wish they would dedicate more resources to fixing some of the core problems with Ubuntu. A few examples are CUPS printing error messages that cause printing to fail and the Intel graphics driver regression. Of course these issues are not specific to Ubuntu, but if Canonical has the resources, I wish they would prioritize. In the long run, core refinement is what will ultimately gain and maintain loyal users, not branching off onto every conceivable platform that comes into existence. Personally, I use Ubuntu as my primary and only operating system on a standard x86 laptop, but it has a long way to go to become a truly enjoyable, reliable OS.
