As you have probably noticed, new versions have arrived of Ubuntu, Xubuntu and other derivatives. One of the most exciting new features has received far less publicity than it deserves - the ability to 'install' it onto your USB flash drive with just a few clicks. The advantages are obvious: just plug your flash drive into a computer and run your favourite operating system. What's more, everything you do - installing applications, saving documents, editing preferences - will be saved to your flash drive and will be available to you every time you run it! The best news is that it's astoundingly easy: all it takes is a few clicks.

Sad but it's becoming like another microsoft where they invent everything after plagiarizing it from someone else!
It's because you Fedora/SuSE/Mandriva/whatever fanboys have constantly underestimated the power of marketing. You people are constantly complaining about Ubuntu being only about marketing, yet here you see another piece of evidence that people simply aren't going to know what you have done unless you do more marketing.
You fanboys should stop complaining. How can you possibly expect the world to know your achievements unless you market your efforts? Stop treating marketing as some kind of evil act, and start improving your marketing! Marketing is not evil, it is important. Until you understand that you have no right to complain. I'm sorry, your current situation is entirely thanks to your own behavior, not because of Ubuntu.
