The sad part is that very few hackers are willing to put their money (and their hardware) where their mouths are. It truly is not inconceivable that, if we all would spend a little bit of our time and money contributing to Linux/Ubuntu, that we could have a solid OS that we could all use on a daily basis. But instead, we spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on Apple hardware, and Ubuntu has to resort to adding advertising to their OS. It really is quite a sad state of affairs.
