“Obviously, I’ve spent a good amount of time trying to
think of a suitable intro to this column. But I couldn’t find
anything appropriate to express my disgust and disappointment at
Ubuntu’s missed opportunity. So I’ll state it plainly –
Ubuntu, you got us this far and then, just when it mattered, you
blew it for all of us. Unlike many, I’m not ranting about Karmic
Koala’s technical glitches. In fact, it’s still one of the best
options for the desktop, and it’s technically superior to the new
Windows OS that its release coincided with. But this is where it
hurts. For the first time ever, the mainstream tech press mentioned
an upcoming Linux release in a Windows preview article. And what
did Ubuntu do to capitalise on this new-found exposure? Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.”
