I just read a comment on OSNEWS, here it is...
"Why shouldn't MS "integrate" (whatever that really means) RSS into Windows? It's a new technology that Windows needs to stay current. People like the all-or-nothing approach of Windows. If given an option to install something called "RSS Tools", 99 of 100 people wouldn't know what "RSS Tools" means. Tell them, though, that Windows can automatically update news headlines, sport scores, and stock info and they'll say "Yes"."
Well we got to agree that Linux distros are better but we dont market them well, Ubuntu is a step in the right direction but we could still go a real further.
For eg. Since ages Ubuntu distros have had those RSS readers but it is MS now which steals the limelight. It is because they are marketing well; like they are saying automatic scores, stocks , news instead of RSS..That way people get it more...
But all is not lost...we could begin marketing Ubuntu's good features with Breezy Badger. Not hyping the features but atleast giving them credit.
For eg.
a) Awesome Out of the box eye candy and integrated tools to skin your applications
b) The All-in-one Messenger- no need to login to different clients. just use one gaim to login to all your Y! hotmail! AIM etc. accounts
c) Integrated Photo Suite : Get going with your digicam. Gthumb helps you import images in a flash, f-spot helps you export it to flickr and burn cds and stuff and then gimp is for more hifi stuff etc.
d) Beagle Search: Search anything anywhere on your computer
e) Your Stuff remains private > to show that each one has seperate home dirs
Of course I am not a marketing person, so not wording the stuff right...and someone could put them in better words...but just an idea...what do you think..???
Showing ppl what work they can get done rather than what apps a distro has seems a cooler way...what do you think?? Opinions please;.
