Standards without users are useless

I know that all those distroes have big userbases, but somehow I think that while they talk about standards, Ubuntu creates them.

Wether people like it or not, the "standard" desktop is going to be the one mostly used, and IMHO that's going to be Ubuntu. I'm not their fanboy, but currently they are on the best track when you compare price and usability.
