[BadVista Advocate] Ubuntu?

[Kevin Dwyer]

I don't intend on really participating in this debate, but in order to
affect change you need to have some kind of power.  If you can't draw
accelerated 3D graphics, and you can't use the little gadgets that
makes everyone's life easier, you won't gain significant market share
to defeat the closed alternatives.  I wouldn't hate on Ubuntu too
hard.
