"While still far from perfect, Ubuntu 6.10 'Edgy Eft' is both an improvement over the so-called 'long-term support' release and a decent operating system in its own right. It's in a much better place than any other free-of-charge operating system has been before now, but I don't think it'll give any commercial operating systems a run for their money."

On a final note, I think there is a serious flaw in Canonical Ltd.'s business model. Any company that provides a free product and intends to make money primarily from support services for that product is not financially motivated to offer something that works well.
The motivation is that nobody wants to support a piece of crap. The entire review bounced back and forth between sane arguments and utter nonsense like this. The author also seems to think that Xandros and Mandriva are far and away less buggy and more stable systems than Ubuntu. I'm afraid he's gonna find himself alone (or very nearly alone) on that island.
