Nowadays people usually prefer a 64-bit system. It's as stable as Ubuntu 32-bit.
However, Canonical only sells the 32-bit variant in the Canonical shop.
I'd like to buy an original Ubuntu CD in 64-bit.

I loaded Ubuntu onto my computer and was ecstatic.
Then I got to know Ubuntu One and was utterl thrilled.
I think Ubuntu is one of the best things since sliced bread - BUT I have to personally tell everyone I know about Ubuntu.
Solution: There should be an invite function with easy user and product info so users can spread the news virally via a personal invite.
This lends authenticity as each inviter endorses Ubuntu and spreads the net far wider.
We have to get more people using Ubuntu!

What is holding Ubuntu Desktop back, in the enterprise?

I love and appreciate Ubuntu's leadership in the Linux community, however I am ultra-hungry for solutions that help Ubuntu deliver real Knock-out punches for market share; so in this spirit here is some food for thought which I hope reaches the right people.
I'd like to share how the decision of replacing XP machines in two years is being processed where I work:
1- Ubuntu Server has made inroads into our company and is well appreciated.
2- Windows is still the 98% deployed OS and Ubuntu Desktop is gaining popularity only among tech people.
3- I am the IT Manager and recently made an evaluation of switching our XPs to Ubuntu.
4- I determined that in-house software could always be re-oriented to run on Ubuntu clients, but it would take energetic selling to peers and execs.
5- I hit a wall when I realized that existing 3rd-party solutions would not be able to run on Ubuntu:
a) Call-center Client Apps
b) IE-dependent Web-based Apps
c) MS-Outlook-dependent Apps
Additionally, The absence of a real-world replacement for MS-Outlook to access MS-Exchange and other servers is notable in the Linux community.
Although this is not a complete analysis, it clearly points to some of the main reasons why Ubuntu is being held back as an enterprise desktop.
