| Ubuntu is a direct competitor to Windows,

Is Microsoft pricing itself out of the consumer market?

| Late October 2009 is proving to be an 
| interesting time in the world of computer 
| operating systems. Within the space of 
| eight days we have seen Apple dramatically 
| dropping their prices, Microsoft releasing 
| Windows 7 and on Thursday 29 October 
| Canonical will release Ubuntu "Karmic 
| Koala" 9.10.

Ubuntu 9.10 Unleashed, Amid Windows 7 & Snow Leopard

,----[ Quote ]
| So, with this version does Ubuntu live up 
| to itâs name of one of the most popular 
| distributions? It certainly does and this 
| version is certainly worth the upgrade for 
| current Ubuntu users, especially those 
| plagued by poor graphics drivers for Intel 
| cards in the Jaunty release. There are 2 
| things which really excite me with Ubuntu. 
| First is that, after six months when the 
| next Ubuntu version comes out, which will 
| be an LTS, things look really good for 
| Ubuntu. Many computer manufacturers like 
| Dell will use it for their netbooks, 
| laptops and desktops. And when the cheap 
| ARM chips based net books finally come 
| out, Linux will certainly be a very good 
| competitor to the proprietary Operating 
| systems. The second thing is that with 
| this release Canonical has come up with 
| some innovative plans to profit from 
| Ubuntu. If they actually are able to make 
| money off the Linux desktop, it will be 
| nothing short of spectacular!
