=== Ubuntu Linux 12.04 One-Ups Windows and Mac, Shuttleworth Says ===

Katherine Noyes of PCWorld wrote about Mark Shuttleworth's blog post where he asserted Ubuntu 12.04 LTS represents the first time “real desktop user experience innovation is available on a full production-ready enterprise-certified free software platform, free of charge, well before it shows up in Windows or MacOS."

"Still, I think it's interesting to hear the magnitude of Shuttleworth's assertions this time around. Ubuntu 12.04, apparently, isn't just another release, in Canonical's view--it's the first solid look at what Canonical wants its distro to be in the coming years, and how it plans to advance in a desktop market still dominated by Windows and Macs," Noyes noted.

Ubuntu Linux 12.04 One-Ups Windows and Mac, Shuttleworth Says

Katherine Noyes of PCWorld wrote about Mark Shuttleworth's blog post where he asserted Ubuntu 12.04 LTS represents the first time “real desktop user experience innovation is available on a full production-ready enterprise-certified free software platform, free of charge, well before it shows up in Windows or MacOS."

"Still, I think it's interesting to hear the magnitude of Shuttleworth's assertions this time around. Ubuntu 12.04, apparently, isn't just another release, in Canonical's view--it's the first solid look at what Canonical wants its distro to be in the coming years, and how it plans to advance in a desktop market still dominated by Windows and Macs," Noyes noted.
