Question. It seems implicit in the piece that Ubuntu has the eyeballs, as it were, even if it's not cool any more either. Do you guys ever ask yourselves/why/ that is and if there's anything you could do to change it?
I'm guessing that you mean that Ubuntu is more popular, and has a much bigger installed user base. If so, it's probably because it's designed to be very user friendly, doesn't make a big deal about some of the software restrictions that Fedora cares about and is, as I like to say, designed for "Windows refugees." Fedora, OTOH, is a much more geeky distro designed as a test bed for new ideas, programs and technologies that's not for people who don't like to tinker with things or who aren't willing to accept that not everything in their distro is really ready for prime time.
Candidly, I'm expecting zorin (http://zorin-os.com/) to become a significant part of the Linux world once Microsoft finally drives a stake through XP's heart because it's a fork of Ubuntu designed to have a UI that looks as much like XP as possible, so that people can pretend they're still using Windows.
