“Canonical has, historically, had a number of products (and attempted product initiatives) that didn't quite work out (including Ubuntu Phone, Ubuntu for Android, Ubuntu for TV, and several software initiatives)...”
Anyone else reminded of Microsoft when you read that? Windows Phone, Zune, MSN TV, and “several other software initiatives” (Bing, Bob, Clippy, etc)...
- pjmlp 7y agoActually I was thinking about Google's products
- Avamander 7y agoI think Ubuntu for Phone was just too soon, had they taken it slower the project would have probably been ready now and usable on phones such as the PinePhone and similar.
- johnchristopher 7y agoNot really. None of Canonical products reached the general consumer market in any significant ways while the Windows Phone and the Zune have good reputation (and have been actually sold to consumers). I hear Bing is doing okay and Clippy is from a different millennium. Surface, Xbox and azure are doing great.
