Comment 53 for bug 806291

This is a tool that can influence if a new user will stay in Ubuntu or return to Windows. If an old user will be able to amaze a new user into coming to Ubuntu to fail at solving a problem which this app solves in a quick and efficient way. At least in my personal case I can say that this tool has made me bring at least 100+ new users to the Ubuntu world and affect the decision of 8 small companies into migrating to Ubuntu. It might sound trivial from a point of view of the many apps that exist in Ubuntu but for a tool that can fix booting problems, including repairing windows boot issues with Ubuntu, we will be winning an amazing amount of IT technical users and many new users that will get this type of problem.

not to mention lessen the amount of questions that arrive related to this in the Askubuntu site.

This tool will simply complement what we can find in the Ubuntu LiveDVD that has saved time, costs and efforts, for example gparted, memtest, usb boot creator and even the disk utility. With the boot-repair and similar apps installing Ubuntu, fixing boot or setup problems or even using (Which indirectly promotes Ubuntu) the LiveDVD to fix Windows / Mac problems will generate more awareness on the ubuntu ecosystem and how it can benefit new and old users. IT or non-IT users and even individuals or companies.

+1 for the inclusion of this app to the LiveDVD and any other app that is installed commonly by Ubuntu users (Some would be Ubuntu Tweaks for example).
