20 vendors CIOs should watch, part 2

,----[ Quote ]
| Canonical
| Any company that challenges the lucrative 
| status quo is worth watching and with its 
| Ubuntu Linux distribution, Canonical is 
| challenging one of the great franchises in 
| software history: Microsoft Windows. Ubuntu 
| has become established as the simplest-to-use 
| desktop Linux for many organisations (and 
| hardware vendors) where Windows might appear 
| pricey and overkill. Of course, PC makers are 
| also looking at Google Android and other 
| systems but if Ubuntu can make itself the 
| free PC OS of choice for even a base set of 
| configurations, tasks and workloads, it 
| stands to become a new power broker.

New priorities for Ubuntu?

,----[ Quote ]
| It's not just UbuntuOne, it's the new SocialMe
| desktop, the switching window buttons, the
| ever-changing selection of default
| applications. Each new release of Ubuntu
| brings with it new tools, new ways of doing
| things and new challenges.
|
| Change is necessary and one of the things I
| most value about Ubuntu is the ever-present
| push to innovate. UbuntuOne, SocialMe and
| others are great examples of how Ubuntu is
| innovating.
|
| The thing is that as Ubuntu grows it begins to
| attract new users, and the quickest way to
| alienate new users is to make it hard for them
| to do what they want to do. Or worse, promise
| something but not do it. Users are more likely
| to stick with something that works well than
| something that mostly works but has lots of
| potential.
