Смысл: The main idea is that Canonical is failing to capitalize on a unique market opportunity by focusing on minor software updates instead of solving the critical usability and communication barriers that prevent average Windows users from switching to Ubuntu.
The author argues that Ubuntu 10.10 fails to attract Windows users because Canonical prioritizes trivial feature updates over solving critical migration hurdles and user communication.
Смысл: The main idea is the failure of Canonical's convergence strategy (Ubuntu Phone and Unity) due to late market entry and flawed management, while highlighting the transition of these projects from corporate to community-led development.
Canonical has abandoned Ubuntu Phone, Mir, and Unity to focus on IoT and OpenStack, sparking a discussion on the failure of mobile convergence and the rise of community forks.
Смысл: The main idea is that Canonical is aggressively pursuing a growth strategy to increase Ubuntu's market share to 5% of new PC sales through strategic OEM partnerships and expansion into the Asian market, particularly China.
Canonical aims to capture 5% of the global PC market by increasing Ubuntu OEM shipments to 18 million units and expanding its business presence in China.
Смысл: The main idea is that Microsoft's market dominance is based on strategic distribution and hardware partnerships (OEMs) rather than technical superiority, making it nearly impossible for Canonical/Ubuntu to compete on a technical level alone.
Microsoft's control over hardware pre-installations and OEM agreements is a bigger barrier to Linux adoption than technical flaws or software gaps.
