While I was trawling through Net Applications' operating system share trend data for the past 24 months, something struck me. June 08 marked a big month for Linux. The OS saw the largest increase in market share for the whole 2 year period - a growth of 0.12%.

Every time someone has to make a choice, you are forcing them to think about something that they don't want to think about. They don't want to have to choose between Distros, DMs, WMs, Text Editors, File Managers, Browsers, etc. This is considered work.
Well, Ubuntu is for that - one preselected item of most needed apps is preselected.

You are bang on about choice. If you are chasing the mainstream market (god only knows why you would want to do this, but a lot of people do seem quite intent on it), choice is the last thing you want.
