This is great news, maybe one day we can have a full working react os 64 to go with this. Then the only thing that you have to worry about is which fan boy you are. Because the more Ubuntu grows, the more senile it gets.

I have used Wine. It is decent enough to get very old versions of Office working and some decent 3d games/titles.

However, I still think you're better of just running Windows or even VMWare w/ Windows guest if you need to run Windows applications.

I found that while Wine was an interesting stop-gap, a lot of programs that people claimed 'worked' would work, but would also be somewhat unstable.

Ubuntu is a flash in the pan. It will soon die.

Ubuntu is the New Linux. Other distributions will die.

How about not just linux? Runs on BSD and OSX as well...

"Yet one more reason to give _Linux_ another shot." would do. I'm a gentoo fan myself.

Why only Ubuntu? How about because the "regular" users do not want to see a list of 3 dozen distributions. I develop software for a living, and even I only want to see one. I do not care if another distro is 5% faster. I want a version that is simple and easy to use. Having a "Pick from 100 variants" as step 1 is neither simple nor easy to use. Go Ubuntu Go!

Why only Ubuntu, and not the other Linux distributions ???
Do Mandriva, Fedora, Suse, etc... not support Wine ???
