Well, Lucid is good enough that I almost never boot Windows/anything else; but it does have a few difficulties:

1. Battery life is extremely poor. Bad selling point, when Acer is boasting about a new Aspire One with 10+hours of battery life. If battery life is better than or equal to Windows, you have a good selling point.
2. Standing bugs/ occasional unsupported hardware. One thing to get would be GMA500 support
3. Slow network (Avahi/mDNS)
4. Business software. Yes, OO Calc works for records–but for real accounting software/other business software, one needs to know where to hunt, and be willing to install “unsupported” software.

1 & 2 are about netbook marketability; without them, don’t expect to do much.
4 is about business appeal. The one person who might reasonably refuse to install
“universe” software is a businessperson. If Ubuntu is ready for the business, there’s a market point.

OEM deals are important and social is nice for those who like it, but don’t forget everything else.

Mark, after using lucid for a month, a really hate the new theme. Human was a far better constructed theme! Nevertheless, lucid is great. Thanks for ubuntu.

What really happened after you went on the space trip and have seen the Earth from above?

Did this trip change the way you think and feel the world?

Well, at least it has changed the OS I use…
Mark Shuttleworth: It certainly made me want to work on a project that would have a positive, global impact. And Ubuntu is that project

first, thanks a lot Mark. I’m from Chile, in south america. Here, ubuntu isn’t so popular, but i’ve been telling my friends about ubuntu, linux and the free software and every day I see they’re opening their minds to this new world. I use ubuntu since a year ago (started using 8.10 intrepid ibex, what a change with karmic, cool!)

I think that the design group is doing fine changing the window controls and that stuff, i’ve been reding about what people is saying about that and… well, it isn’t difficult to learn to use the controls in the other side, c’mon guys, that’s not important for now… otherwise, this is a big big biiig change!

i love ubuntu, everything i can do with it, . thanks a lot Mark!! i’m waiting for the next release.
