Two years ago, Microsoft and Novell inked a landmark deal on patents and Linux-to-Windows interoperability. According to Microsoft and Novell, it's a deal that has shown dramatic momentum in its second year, with a triple digit percentage increase in customers for a total tally of more than 200 customers. "I was surprised at the number of over 200 customers, so I actually went back and double checked it just to make sure," Susan Heystee, General Manager for Global Strategic Alliances at Novell told InternetNews.com. "That represents over 250 percent growth in terms of the number of customers that are part of the partnership which is really great. A real positive surprise has been the great customer momentum."

Ubuntu fails at stable set up tools and needing the terminal? That's news to me. I just set up several Ubuntu machines and experienced no problems with the setup, nor did I have to use the terminal.
I have an honest question: How do I fine-grained modifications of a user account -- which groups one account belongs to? The user accounts applet is too simplistic for me. I used the terminal to modify accounts.

Uh, that is perfectly possible to do with the users accounts applet. I know, I did when i set up Virtualbox. In Kubuntu you can either use the "Groups" tab in the main window or the "Groups" tab in the user properties. In Ubuntu/Xubuntu you click the "Manage Groups" button. The Kubuntu applet is a bit better at it, imho. Pretty hard to miss though.

It is polished, stable and succeed where Ubuntu still fails : stable set up tools, no need of the terminal.

I do use the terminal because it is a powerful tool on Linux -- actually, the terminal is one of those "killer apps" on Linux in my opinion -- but I certainly didn't have to.
However, even if Ubuntu did "fail" at these two things, being Debian based, it would still be worth the hassle just for dpkg.
