Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu "Many people are looking to Ubuntu to be something that it is not: A mass market ready operating system designed to work with the same level of compatibility as Microsoft Windows. Where people get confused is in believing that if Ubuntu, king of the Linux distros, is not able to take the marketplace by storm, then something must be broken with desktop Linux. In this article, I'll explain what it will take to dethrone the mighty Ubuntu and gain a market share so large that it will eclipse anything seen by Ubuntu to date." More here.

"...designed to work with the same level of compatibility as Microsoft Windows"

I sure hope not. I switched from windows because it is incompatible with itself, self degrading into a molasses slow kludge in about 18 months of use by "Joe Average".

My family likes windows (it runs the games they like) but for anything else, they go to linux because it works, and they can't break it (nearly as easily)
