Canonical started out with a somewhat different vision. Microsoft did not.

This is not trolling. It's disappointment.

Indeed. They went and closed bug #1, reflecting the situation on the ground in such an accurate fashion that when I had reason to go and purchase a computer in a retail outlet the other day there was a healthy choice of software pre-installed on the available models.

Just kidding, of course: there was a row of Macbooks and everything else was running Windows 8. Canonical's "mission accomplished" moment, without a doubt.
