Marketing Ubuntu - Why we Need More Double Glazing Salesmen
Recently I’ve been involving myself with the task of marketing Ubuntu, which lead me wonder why it is that Ubuntu isn’t marketed very well in the first place.
To understand the question I guess it’d be pertinent to look an operating system oriented company which markets itself quite well. Lets not beat about the bush, lets choose Microsoft.
Here we have an company who have decided that in their latest operating system (Vista) that they are going to police what you do with the digital content that you play on your computer. A company who have created an OS which makes hardware you bought a couple of years ago useless, yet here is a company which is still managing to sell retail copies of Vista in shops. Why?
Also:
I noticed that a new theme was installed on my Ubuntu Gutsy on a recent dist-upgrade, called Tropic. It is more orange and less brown (which is very welcome and great!) than the previous themes and to me it looks fresh and very nice. The background image also blends nicely to the theme overall.
