Would I be using Ubuntu if it was as popular as Mac OS X? I don't think so. Part of the allure is the geekiness.

For me it's about having the apps I want to use, good cut and paste, and better updating tools.

I use Ubuntu because it's good. Not because it's obscure.

Ubuntu might be already as popular as Mac OS X, and we just not aware of this. I personally, passed over my macbook after three months and grabbed ThinkPad with Ubuntu.

Not sure what it means but look at: http://www.google.com/trends?q=Ubuntu%2C+Mac+OS+X%2C+Windows...

Man. I was expecting some clever, insightful article about how Windows' market share stops Ubuntu from gaining converts. This was funny, though.
