Ubuntu is not just for “elite” users says the Canonical Founder "Mark Shuttleworth"
Canonical showed of its Ubuntu OS for smartphones and tablets
at a event a few weeks ago, and the response has been quite positive
across the board. Of course, there have been some detractors, and the
move by the company to other platforms has received it’s fair share of
criticism. In a blog post,
Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Canonical, decided to put to rest some of
the doubts people have, especially pertaining to the issue that some
people consider Ubuntu to be exclusive. I’ve always thought of Ubuntu as
a programmer’s OS, at least the initial releases, and many consider it
exclusive because it was “hard.”
Leet, Mark Shuttleworth calls them. He goes on to to say that he has
zero interest in catering to this crowd, and instead wants to create a
free and open platform that is the leader across both consumer and
enterprise computing, that is, catering to the masses. He believes that
that is exactly what they have with Ubuntu and Unity, and adds that if
they plan to move ahead from being a platform for hobbyists, they need
to work on Unity to keep up with Android, Chrome, Windows, and iOS.
