    I think the problem is that the Mac market has shown that it can support a shareware economy, while Linux is risky in that respect. Linux users tend not to want to pay for shareware or any commercial software (case in point: nero for linux).

    Obviously, as Ubuntu grows in ease of use and lowers the level of entry, this market could foster as easily as the Mac’s does, but we won’t see that for a 3-5 years.

    Some people think polish is the way to go, meanwhile others are still using a text screen on their boot loader.
