I'm not convinced. It is apparent to me that 13.04 will contain alot of bug-fixes and feature upgrades that 12.04 will not. How many package maintainers are going to spend time polishing packages when the next incremental version is going to contain the fixes and features? Does it take a medical degree?
Agendas. Believe it or not, the word is out, people have agendas. And other people know it. So if your in a tech support role, even just for a minute, and you are working with an office worker, and they suspect you have an agenda to make/your/ job easier, even if it makes theirs harder, they aren't necessarily going to believe you when you talk about the benefits, especially if you start talking open-source and freedom and alot of other things that doesnt affect them in the here and now, or have obvious and immediate benefits. They will just politely nod and smile and say 'that's too hard' and go back to thinking your a geek while you think they are stupid. No agreements about agendas, bad communication and sketchy profit motives contribute to the slowness of general Linux adoption.
They just don't understand.
On linux, I can read this post, go "ooo, what's that?', click to my open terminal, 'sudo apt-get install lyx', click back to the browser to compose my response,/without any input to the terminal/, and by the time I am ready to preview and post, LyX is waiting for me to try, fully installed and ready to go.
They still don't understand.
Although the presentation layer is obviously different, I look at distros like this and Ultimate Edition (http://http://ultimateedition.info/) and have the same thought. "Why are they releasing new forks on 12.04 and not 13.04? This seems overcautious.
I think it's tragic when quacks try to justify medicalizing economics and it gets passed off as science. It's utter horsesh*t.
Love is not an adult human need. Case closed.
If the GNU were interested in a branded distro, I think they probably would have done it already. Stallman and Debian talked alot about the Mach kernel for it, but we still aren't seeing it making it into the community. The GNU toolset is just as critical to Linux success as the kernel, but they just didn't appear to be interested in doing the kinds of things the LKM did to get the name out there.
Conservative business owners are still cash-shy, and are trying to squeek by with aging, degraded equipment, no experienced tech support and paper airplanes. Gentlemen, start your engines. It's muthaf*ckin' ON! TURN IT LOOOOOOSE!!!
Your not going to even touch Linux for desktop customization, so don't even try. We know all about LightStep. We know about StarDock. We know about EnviroDesk. We even know about Cygwin. We know everything. So. Tell us some more about instant desktop search. Right now. Before I beat you with this Nepomuk Semantic Search.
If it's working today.
If not, then I might just Dash you, Gnome Do you to death, or, if my buddy is here, he will Quicksilver you into smithereens.
And that's all she wrote.

So basically, there are some companies that are looking for gaurantees of higher profit margins. How is this news?
