Ubuntu might not be the right OS for you. You might prefer something with "GNU" in the title and a 1970s command line instead of an interface, with a picture of RMS in the boot screen instead of a penguin. I don't see why all these people start using Ubuntu and then complain about how it's becoming too easy to use and too similar to other OSes. Just use a different distro! Stop trying to sabotage Ubuntu's success with archaic crap.
> So the question is, if you're all so enamoured with Windows and the Mac, why don't you just stick to those operating systems
No no no. I used Ubuntu for 4 years and I'm *fed up* with it, so I *switched* to Windows. I'm not *sticking* with it. I'm *switching* to it. Different.
> instead of trying to pervert GNU/Linux into the very thing people switch to GNU/Linux to get away from?
Yeah, people are switching to Linux in droves, and the primary reason is because the clipboard in Windows just works too damn well. What they're really craving is a clipboard that forgets everything when you close the app.
And why am I still getting notifications for this bug when I've unsubscribed from it and other duplicates? >:(
And why does Launchpad allow people to argue and leave advocacy comments and other irrelevant noise like this, which is then sent to every one of the subscribers? There should be a way for users to mod up or down the relevancy of comments, so the irrelevant ones are minimized and the bug listing isn't crapped up with 260 comments that don't help fix the bug.
