At least Ubuntu is but one of many GNU/Linux distros. There a lot of lightweight distros out there, and you can even lighten Ubuntu, to some extent, with the WMs like LXDE. Or start (Linux) from scratch.
Maybe the Zune, but definitely not the XBox. When it comes to names both are horrible, but at least the XBox delivers plenty of fun games at a low price and a very good online experience, what does the Zune deliver that is better or different than the competition?
I do agree with you on the fact the Microsoft is competition-driven, they rarely create new paradigms or market segments.
Cross-distro binary compatibility?
If so, and if it does happen, then we can finally claim the Year of the Linux desktop.
GNU/Linux needs a single package manager, this will make it easier for users and developers.

Look at what happened to IBM when the clones took over!

Apple already got MobileMe and Eric Schimdt is on its board of directors.
yes, and it's still evil!
Windows Vista Ribbon Edition
OO.o needs a better name or it will never be popular. Maybe FireOffice or better yet OfficeFire.
The computer is an appliance and they want it to just work
then they shouldn't be using Windows
