Full FeedUbuntu to beat Mac OSX in looks within 2 years?
Ubuntu’s founder, Mark Shuttleworth, has proposed a plan to make his distro of Linux just that much more popular. He plans on overtaking Apple’s Mac OSX in the looks and desktop experience departments in order to overtake the art-savvy giant. Sure, these plans do sound a bit confident for where Linux is now, but that almighty force of Linux programmers is really starting to leave an impression on the industry.
Shuttleworth believes the idea that open source operating systems need not only be for the tech savvy and he aims to push for easier, more stable, and more attractive aspects to updates to his operating systems.
With Ubuntu updates popping out about every 6 months now, this dream may not be as much as a reach as it may seem. If there was one Linux distro that had the best chance of changing the software industry, it would definitely be Ubuntu. Shuttleworth has established the goal of “revolutionizing the open source ecosystem” by the summer of 2009 and finally “beating” Apple by 2010.
