I just long for the day people start realizing Ubuntu is actually an OS they should make drivers/software for. The companies are just greedy and don't want open-source software...

Completely true, if more people started using ubuntu then companies would have to make linux compatible software. That's what microsoft is worried about. They want to be a monopoly that forces crappy OS's down our throats. If only adobe would make linux compatible software then others would follow.

competition = lower prices for the consumers

i don't see how can microsoft be a monopoly, its that everyone just rather stick to it, they don't have to do open source apps for Linux, they could just do private apps for linux and done. win-win
