Meet Ubuntu 11.04 'Natty Narwhal'... Linux just got cool

When Canonical releases the latest version of its Ubuntu
Linux operating system on 28 April, it's ready to take on
Windows. At least that's what Director of Communications
Gerry Carr told PC Advisor in an exclusive interview to
promote Ubuntu 11.04 'Natty Narwhal'.

I hope so... and the fact they are willing to admit that they have *not*
been ready until now is a sign of honesty on their part. Now there is no
magic moment when they will necessarily be ready to take on Windows, and I
have some doubts, but I hope for the best.

And then, later, maybe they can take on the usability of OS X.

It's going to be a disaster like we have never seen before.

Just wait.

Predication :

1. They will be bragging about the huge number of downloads.
2. The forums will be overloaded with bug complaints, many of which are
the same bugs that have been propagated from version to version.
3. COLA Linux loons will claim "works for me" despite these bugs.
4. Canonical will be overwhelmed and unable to even keep up with the bug
count.
5. Canonical will start talking about how great the next version of
Ubuntu is going to be,

BTW this is no different than any Ubuntu release.
