My current impression is that the Ubuntu people are at an extreme position,
striving to make Linux even more 'user-friendly' than Windows, but without
the driving motivation of securing humongous monopoly profits.

Mark Shuttleworth, the founder of the Ubuntu Linux project, came to
Tokyo a while back, and a few of us met with him. As he described it,
Ubuntu's primary focus is to create a free alternative to Windows for
people in low-income situations. Obviously, the user and usability is
pretty central in Ubuntu's list of concerns, but I get the sense that
Ubuntu is primarily trying to compete with Windows on price.
