Their list isn't compelling. Especially for a mainstream consumer. The list basically argues that Ubuntu doesn't suck. Most of the topics try to position Ubuntu as comparable to Windows. Being comparable isn't going to motivate a consumer to switch. Especially when they have been using Windows for xx years.
Too much selling features, not enough selling benefits.
- branden 16y agoIt's free. When that's your starting point, "it doesn't suck" is pretty compelling.

Photo Editing with The GIMP is FREE on Microsoft Windows AND Ubuntu. Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware are FREE on Microsoft Windows using Avast! (and alternatives). OpenOffice is available for FREE on Microsoft Windows. OpenOffice, while quite good, is not 100% Microsoft Office compatible. I've used Linux for over 15 years; hate Windows with a passion. Hate lies even more.
- rbanffy 16y agoThat's probably as far as MS allows them to. With margins as low as any PC maker, Dell cannot risk pissing Microsoft off.
- loup-vaillant 16y agoLook at the flash video on the side. Its arguments are much more compelling. Too bad they put it where you usually see unrelated ads.
