Strange enough but according to the information from the DistroWatch.com |
| 26 |
Ubuntu lost a lot of users and its status of the most popular Linux |
| 27 |
distribution after switching from Gnome2 to Unity in its 12.04 LTS release. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
And its not about a small change in an interface, it is about |
| 30 |
we-know-better-what-you-need approach that drove quite a lot |
| 31 |
of companies to bankrupcy. Kodak is a perfect example. Its |
| 32 |
employee invented the very first digital camera in the world |
| 33 |
but Kodak refused to continue its development and put it to mass |
| 34 |
production because its managers decided that their customers |
| 35 |
need only film cameras. |
