[Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share

[manishmahabir]

Today Ubuntu has reached a stage where it can successfully replace windows in home as well as office desktops.
Actually many people are now switching to ubuntu or are now ready to give it a try.

As known to linux community, many hardware vendors have kept their
hardware closed source.As a result the open source community has been
unable to provide adequate support for the hardware.

usually the hardware we buy has a logo 'certified for windows vista',
and similarly for xp.people never know whether it is open or closed
hardware or how well the hardware is supported under ubuntu.

i know that there are websites which contain a list of hardware
supported under ubuntu.

it would be nice to have a tool for windows which could gather the data
about the hardware connected to pc (similar to hardware testing in
ubuntu). Based on the data it should generate a friendly report about
the current status of support for the available hardware,specially
graphics card or wireless card.It would help to prevent any post
installation blues.

An additional feature which could suggest the linux counterparts of
installed windows applications would be a killer addition.

It would go a long way in helping average user to switvh to ubuntu!
