Even if they weren't light years ahead in other areas of usability, Microsoft *are* ahead of Ubuntu in at least one, basic, critical area. Stable hardware support that actually works.
I can bring two points to prove you wrong, in the past AND the present:
How was the Vista launch driver support?
What version of Windows offers to install the latest graphics card drivers off the internet for you, if it already doesn't work out of the box?
Not only that, the same sound and graphics issues exist in Windows. Faulty hardware is still faulty hardware on Windows or Linux, and the difference between a blue screen and a kernel panic is nil in this case. The examples you brought up are continually being fixed, whereas Windows sound drivers are lucky to get an update if at all.
Because EVERY mobile device needs to be a cell phone, PDA, Alarm Clock, web browser, video game console, computer, hooker, and able to play blackjack. Just add a kitchen sink and it will be the perfect handheld, where playing 1080p on a tiny screen will make you want to throw up in a kitchen sink, so just add one on it!
Yeah, that's like wearing little armor to be able to dodge all enemy attacks. You have to know what the hell you are doing, and even then it can still be disasterous.

This is false. Even if it was true, it can be mitigated with pipelining, which is very easy to enable.
Unless you are using firefox 2.0 or less, this issue doesn't exist.
You can pay $0.01. There's no minimum.
It's also a cromulent word.
To lie is to be, to lawyer, bovine.
Yes all those features are really nice...

Oh, I'm sorry, I though this was an argument. I'm in abuse. Terribly sorry about that.
Flash is not open source yet.
Install less software to protect yourself?
