First of all, they need to start supporting a wider array of hardware, specifically in the GPU area. I don't know how many chipsets I've tried to install Ubuntu on (a lot of them being Intel chipsets) and the GPU is virtually crippled. Sure, Ubuntu is great, but without support for any kind of hardware acceleration I don't see why anyone would want to switch away from Windows. Secondly, Ubuntu was designed to be user friendly, so they need to try to make things easier for newer users. I know a lot of people disagree about this, but lets face it, the average person doesn't know and probably doesn't want to know how to compile from source, reconfigure xorg from the terminal, etc. I like the direction Ubuntu is going, but there are two things I think Ubuntu needs to work on.

It needs to include source code that is free and open. Other than that, I'm not sure what he means. One such limitation, and not a small one, is licensing.

Could you please elaborate on this point. In what way are the other two main OS' more advanced?

Care to back that up? I'd put Ubuntu up against Windows 7 any day. We have both, and Ubuntu is far more advanced. “But it is still not as advanced as the two main OS’ it is currently competing with.”
