Last few weeks I have been one of the biggest linux newsmaker has been Dell’s decision to offer Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. My initial reaction was being very pleased. It had always been irritating for me to see the screwed up faces of dealers followed by a shaking of head when I asked them about Ubuntu or even Linux preloaded. Indeed they are not even aware what is Ubuntu.
It seemed great since it would have offered out-of-box functionality, pre-loaded codecs and restricted driver support as well. But I was a touch dissapointed when I read the review of Dell’s Ubuntu PC at this post at ubuntuforums.

How piracy hurts open source

Genuine Windows 9%
Pirated Windows 89%
Linux/Mac 1%

This did not come a surprise to me as I live in India, here pirated software rules thanks to high prices of software as compared to the salaries of individuals. Here pirated software like Adobe Photoshop, MS Office, and Windows XP or Vista which actually cost over $150.00 are available for about $1.50.
