The main problem is NOT professionalism. Most bugs in Ubuntu releases are hardware related. These bugs are avoided on Macs because Apple controls the hardware. On Windows PCs, manufacturers (Dell, HP, etc.) test Windows on them before they sell them. These companies often include their own custom drivers on their machines. For example, the installation of Windows on many HP laptops with the default CD will fail miserably. I know many people who have tried to upgrade (i.e. downgrade) to vista but were unable to get much of their hardware working (sound cards, etc.). With Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, it is up to the developers and beta tester to test the OS on all available hardware. While developers and alpha/beta tester test Ubuntu on as much hardware as possible, it is impossible to test everything.

That's why you should eat lab rats.
Technically, BSA is slandering the "Pirate" population. I wonder if a judge would be willing to hear a case "Pirate Party v. BSA".

1. I hate the window manager; it is an interesting idea but a horrible implementation.
2. Two hands is a problem. Think Twister (the game).
In my opinion, it would be better to keep a normal window manager and have one touch pad on the right (or left) for one hand.
