| Branding is expensive and very important. For example, folk will now buy 
| Skoda cars because they know they are well engineered, good value and belong 
| to the Volkswagen Audi group. Skoda sales-people like the SEAT sales-people 
| remind potential customers that they are really buying an Audi at discount 
| prices. Up-scaling a brand such as Skoda costs serious marketing money and 
| even that required a lift up from an already long term expensively 
| established brand (Vorsprung whatever).      
| 
| Despite the best efforts of Red Hat and Ubuntu I doubt whether they have 
| enough financial depth to build brands to rival Microsoft!

| Every so often I take a stab at Linux, to see exactly what I like and do not
| like about the OS. Many of its problems, for me, stem from its inability to
| run on my overloaded hardware, or the occasional driver that makes the OS
| impossible to use without hand-tweaking something or other. That said, I
| seriously like the Ubuntu 8.10 implementation and will now install it
| permanently on my latest machines. It's a winner.
