JMJ, that was an excellent analogy. We've all heard the car one so often that it rolls off us, but the table one is new to me, and an excellent illustration.

Most people use the computer as a means to an end while we who are into computers, and that can include some skilled MS admins, see the computer as the end in itself.

Ubuntu is offering itself as a solution to those who see the computer as means to an end. If they succeed, it will be good for all of us, simply for hardware support.
