Windows 7 has been out and about for little over a week now, and as it turns out, Microsoft's new baby is doing relatively well. That is, according to the figures by NetApplications: Windows 7 already reached the 3% mark this weekend, and is already closing in on the 4% mark.

That's just one of the countless ways the problem acts out. Some people have it crashing during install, others during live CD, and again others during the first few minutes of use. Others, even, during the use of specific applications. It happens on fresh installs as well as dist-upgraded ones.
The common denominator? Intel video chips.
Finger-pointing is the usual response from the Linux community, and you fall in line like a perfect little monkey. If the current Intel video driver is to blame (which I doubt, since this problem is Ubuntu-specific) then Ubuntu should ship with a driver that DOES work. That is their responsibility.
Imagine going to restaurant, and then ordering a nice dinner. However, the meat is completely rotten, and tastes like vomit. Would you accept it when the chef says: "hey, my meat guy shipped me this rotten meat. Go complain to him, it's his fault."?
Of course you wouldn't. You would ask the chef why he didn't use some other meat.
