Ubuntu is only a web browser? I've somehow got a bucket load of servers to run on a web browser?

Someone please pull up Apache's market share compared to IIS...
And that would be why I spent ages ripping apart drivers to get a graphics card to work with Windows 7. Ubuntu? It just worked - I didn't do anything.
Horses for courses as they say. Is there any popcorn left?
Both excellent examples of desktop applications that this thread is clearly attempting to talk about.
What?!? How is the general public using Apache? Look at user market share which is what this thread is discussing and come back.

I wasn't aware that we were limiting this to "general public" applications, which basically just means a web browser for 90% of people.

No but this debate is quite obviously about a desktop OS. I don't run a web server on my desktop. The overwhelming majority of computer users don't either.
It's a trend in these sort of threads, pull up a chair and join the clubThis post brought to you by randomness and deliberately missing the point.

yeah, but many external hardwares like printers , modems , routers still windows only stuffs....
I hope more hardwares and softwares are supported by Ubuntu in future plus they (Canonical) got increasing partners for Ubuntu OS for now....

It won't make a difference, if it supported every hardware going, still wouldnt make a difference. The majority of people stick to what they know, the majority and going to change their pre-installed OS with an alternative that they will have to learn afresh.
It's not really about sticking to what people know, I'm sure a lot of people would switch or not even noticed if someone switched for them if they could still do everything they currently do in Mac OS or Windows, but the application support just isn't there. And the procedure to find and install a more often than not inferior clone of their favourite apps is more hassle than it's worth.
