Greetings,

I'm here to gather information on behalf of the Ubuntu Marketing Team.

I have received permission from a moderator to direct you to the surveys we have for people to take. They are fairly short and do not ask anything terribly personal.

You do not have to be an Ubuntu user to do these surveys. In actual fact, I am actually here to find people who do not use or who have not heard of Ubuntu. We need to know a little about what you think and what your opinions are.

We are not intending to market Ubuntu here, as we believe in your choice to use what ever operating system you want to. Our intention with reaching out to the members of this forum is to gain information about people's knowledge of Ubuntu and Open Source Software in general, so we know which parts of what we are doing is working.

So, if you have a few moments spare and would like your opinion to be known, please visit http://surveys.geekosophical.net

For those who do not know, Ubuntu is a distribution of Linux.

Thankyou in advance,
Melissa Draper

I would like to extend Thanks everyone who has taken the survey so far. We are almost halfway through the collection cycle, which will end on October 16th.

With your help, we can shape the way software is made in the future. So please, if you have not taken the survey, take a few minutes to do so.

Thankyou in advance,

well.. iu jsut filled in the form, and submitted. I think linux is great, but Windows is beeing used so much, because everything is compartible with it. ( well,.. not everything, but you know what i mean )

also.. Linux isnt beeing Used as much as windows, meaning its much more efficient for someone to make a virus/addware or whatever for window's.. since there are more pc's running it.
sorry if this seems off topic,.. just sharing my thoughts :P

Feel free to be a little bit off-topic.

Opinion and choice is what drives Open Source.

The only problem i have is the lack of support for all mainstream chipsets on wireless network cards. I have a BT Voyager 1040 PCI card and its not supported at all. Using ndiswrapper isnt ideal and isnt easy. BT voyagers all run off the broadcom BCM 4306 chipset, this isnt hard to add support into the kernel.

Thats my only pet peeve.

yup... for me the biggest problem is compartibillyty (spelleing? :o ) too.
I'm using Win xp Pro x64 atm, and i had few problems already, wich was quite annoying.
i would even have gone Mac, but ( as you maybe can see on my pc ) i game a lot, and none of the games (at least not much) are compartible.
ditto with linux ;)
 
Yes, compatability is a huge problem with Open Source, and that's usually not the fault of the Open Source Movement. The majority of the time It's the fault of the hardware industry rather than Open Source.

Proprietry drivers and DRM et al makes it legal minefield in many situations.
