"It's rising ... after publishing Lucid, it still will growing. No Titanic here! Why? Because Ubuntu is cleaning up the ***old*** dust and is the only one with a shiny, modern look. This is what peoples are ***looking for**'

Yes,iPad sales were up initially too. All this demonstrates if that just like Apple users, Ubuntu users are becoming sheeple too because they get distracted by "neat, shiny things that look cool" versus actually being usable and assist in productivity.

@Bob - I hear you. I'm on your side man. MANY here, including Mark, don't get it - or care to even try to.

I have been since I started in 1978 at age 11.

"If you guys are really this stubborn how did you manage to actually leave Windows?"

I started out on UNIX, CLUI-based, migrated to Mac for about 10 years (Mac had the min,max,close on the right back then), then went to Windows (min,max,close), and then to various distros of Linux, which until Ubuntu Livid Lynx 10.04, were the same way.
