For me it's about having the apps I want to use, good cut and paste, and better updating tools.

I use Ubuntu because it's good. Not because it's obscure.

... same reason I use Windows. It's got the apps that I want to use. I could care less about the operating system as long as it's not running on a Mac.

What's wrong with a mac?

It's more expensive.

It's incredibly stable. And a polished, supported, user-friendly end product.

Ubuntu might be already as popular as Mac OS X, and we just not aware of this. I personally, passed over my macbook after three months and grabbed ThinkPad with Ubuntu.

Not sure what it means but look at: http://www.google.com/trends?q=Ubuntu%2C+Mac+OS+X%2C+Windows...

Would I be using Mac OS X if it were as popular as Windows?
