[CS-FSLUG] Yes, Ubuntu can absolutely be the default Windows alternative

[Timothy Butler]

Very good piece. I've admired Ubuntu for a long time because they have  
set some hefty goals for themselves and pursued them with a directness  
and speed not typical of FOSS. I don't know any other major developer  
in the GNU/Linux ecosystem that is so focused on building usability  
scenarios and then coming up with solutions.

Who'd have thought five years ago that the Linux "normal people" were  
most likely to know about wasn't RedHat, Mandriva or SUSE?

I think it helps too that while Ubuntu has always been user focused,  
it didn't overhype and under deliver ala Lindows/Linspire and Xandros.
