Ubuntu Desktop Support: Even If No One Wins Big, Everyone Still Wins

,----[ Quote ]
| Community support does a fairly good job replacing the mysterious elements 
| with science -- and it often, honest to Pete, ends up being an all-out 
| community effort. It all gets sorted out, 99% of the time -- but it takes 
| some time. Presumably those people purchasing the Professional support 
| service are smaller businesses, and cliche as it is, time often is money.    
| 
| That doesn't mean that paid support will necessarily work through a problem 
| faster or as elegantly as community support will, but it does mean that your 
| issue is, for the techs, a priority -- not something only tackled on lunch 
| and coffee breaks.

The whole FUD about "Linux has no support" is shredded to pieces, even when it
comes to desktops.
