I think it's a great time -- but a tricky time -- for Ubuntu. Move forward too fast into the consumer space and you will surely disappoint some/many users. Do too little, and you leave the door open for other Linux variants.
Overall, I like the balance Canonical and Dell are striking. They aren't hyping Ubuntu. And they're letting truly frustrated Windows users discover Ubuntu on their own -- at least for now, that's a good thing.
As more college kids give it a try, I bet the market continues to move Ubuntu's way. Even if Linux only gets 5 percent of the desktop, that's progress. And freedom. And customer choice!
Good to hear from you. How long have you been doing your blog? In addition to playing a role on this Web site, my company (http://microcast.biz) has built two successful businesses around blogs (http://muniwireless.com and http://techiqmag.com).
Would love to hear more about what you're up to.
