“”We definitely shouldn’t give up the desktop,” Shuttleworth
said. “This is one of the most exciting years for the desktop in
living memory.”“Shuttleworth added that the Intel-led Moblin effort and
Google’s mobile Linux initiatives with Android and ChromeOS have
generated considerable interest in Linux.“Canonical-backed Ubuntu, for its part, has a Moblin-based
netbook remix.“While the interest is there, Shuttleworth noted that some key
areas need to be improved about the way Linux is developed and
presented to users.”
