Music fans when hear about some criminal tendencies of their star also tend to defend their star without any scientific thinking or rhyme or reason. But yeah sometimes we Linux users appear to be crazy and foolish geeks. Arent all forums and communities like that?

Putting Ubuntu at eye-level in major retail outlets will, at the very least, increase awareness of the open source operating system and increase the potential for adoption." I think both Ryan and you are right on this issue, it is a good thing for Canonical, Ubuntu and Linux in general !
