[Bug 59695] Re: High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime

[revelationman]

Exactly!!!!

We can go back forth and discuss but in the end it is up  to Ubuntu team to fix this or find some solution. If  Ubuntu  is really serious of giving the public a serious alternative to Windows well this would be a  good start. 
Many people today are going away from the big towers to laptops  and portables so fixing this issue could bring more user's over to Linux and Ubuntu in general.
I do feel Ubuntu Hardy is a better system then Vista  but this issue has to be fixed.
When this is fixed I will recommend Ubuntu to laptop user's  right away but as I stated earlier I cannot do that with this bug present.
