      The last insurance company I worked for had hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in their accounting software that could only run, and was built to run in IE. Windows it is. Sometimes business dictates and overrules the "everything can run on Linux" theory....

        Did it only run on IE because it was dependent on something like ActiveX or was it because they just added a line to the header to only allow IE?

          When you are talking about Ubuntu, you're talking about admins using it.. not home users. As such the lack of new things making would never be acceptable to home users - they are constantly looking for new things.. and if they can't find it in the normal store.. they will go elsewhere if it's possible at all.

          I've never met those home users. What things are they looking for? I rarely see home users install anything but malware. All they use are web browsers.
