See, the beauty is that even though things like apt-get and synaptic make installing programs as easy as double clicking on setup.exe -- the difference is that we have a choice as to whether or not we pick the convenience of package management. It's the freedom to choose that makes Linux and open source so great.
- Can System Builders Turn to Ubuntu?
But, in the end it will all come down to the applications, if the necessary business applications are available under Linux, then the OS becomes that much more viable for business and home users. One thing is certain, Ubuntu gets better with every release. The OS becomes more stable, offers more point and click features, adds more compatible applications and will become that much harder to ignore.
