"I have always wondered what is it that makes people embrace Ubuntu over other Linux distributions. After some pondering, it struck me that the unique selling point of Ubuntu is its user friendliness. Ubuntu is a distribution targeted at the non-techie crowd - those that want to get their job done and not spend time tinkering with the OS. And consequently, the developers at Ubuntu have bundled simple easy to use GUI front end tools to achieve common system administration tasks. Here I have put together 10 things in Ubuntu that make a new user's life that much simple."

Actually, after reading the article I got the impression that he was saying that Ubuntu would be a good choice for people who don't know anything about Linux. I must have missed the part where he tries to say it is sooo much better than other distributions.
If you want to convince Windows users to switch to Linux you have to make it just as easy to use. And Ubuntu goes a long ways towards achieving that goal.

I mean this is yet another of those kinds of writings where the author has a fairly zero level knowledge of distros and DEs and yet still tries to convince people about a specific one's superiority. Granted, Ubuntu has all that. And granted, it's not alone.
