Parental controls and migration wizard are the only things the author cited as needing improvement? Come on! Here's my two cents: Ubuntu, and other Linux distros, have the technical side locked up. Now they need to adopt some sort of a design-centric approach to their development efforts. This is where the failure has been. The frontend experience has never sparked anyone's imagination. I'm sure all the major distros are well put together but they all look like they came from the windowsXP era. There's also a tendency to copy windows and mac desktop look-and-feel almost to a fault. The funny thing is that both Microsoft and Apple have shown to be willing to make drastic changes to their flagship products. It makes them look like trailblazers and the open source guys look conservative.
