Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu The 2007 road map for the Ubuntu Linux operating system includes continuing its focus on the desktop, paying more attention to the server and garnering additional corporate support. Speaking at Ubuntu user conference UbuCon at Google's New York complex on Feb. 16, Steve George, director of support and services at Canonical, said, "The view from the Ubuntu side is that Microsoft has too much of the market. We're going to continue rolling out and making Ubuntu easy to use on the desktop and we'll add increased focus on the server this year."

Only mega bucks can scare Microsoft.

If the Ubuntu foundatition manages to gather millions for fundraising radio, TV, newspaper, and magazine ads then Microsoft might eventually consider Ubuntu a small bump in the carpet.

It's not advertising on TV that will help. They need to get it on OEMs and corporations. Only a zealot will bother to install it at home until they've seen it at work. Get the corps and the OEMs and you'll get the desktop eventually.
