Canonical must decide to push deeper into the consumer or corporate markets. Pursuing both at once might be too much to handle... -TVG Dogberto360: The VAR Guy appreciates your perspectives but Games seems to be a saturated market… Canonical must decide to push deeper into the consumer or corporate markets.

"Games!!!!...and more games!" This is another area that should not be over looked by Canonical. Some how they have to communicate with the gaming community to listen to their needs. One thing that may help is a user friendly API like Direct X. Maybe by taking OpenGL and coming up with a complete media SDK that is easy to work with, would peak their interest. Or another idea would be for Canonical to start an in-house gaming development department. Either way, this one should not be forgotten. I’ve got a tenth one…

(I put servers and marketplace together because I guess that the majority of the listed companies are focused on the server side) Would taking care of those small service providers pay off for Canonical? javivazquez The VAR guy:

Sun does not offer support for Ubuntu. For example Look at: www.sun.com/servers/x64/x4150/os.jsp Ubuntu is no longer listed... however older versions of that page include Ubuntu in the supported operating list.. which you can confirm for yourself using Google cache or the internet archive.org (June 16th 2008 version of the page in the archive). The same is true for the other "certified" server offerings. No Sun does not consider Ubuntu a supported operating system any longer it seems. -jef The VAR Guy:
