I use it when I think it will serve them best: when their needs are tied to
low cost or low requirements.  Even then they generally upgrade to OS X or
Windows when they can afford to.

LOL!  It was quotes from the Ubuntu and Apple sites... nothing more.  It
showed the recommended methods from each company.  Here are the pages:

<http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4505>
<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo>

The differences in ease of use could not be more clear (which is not to say
this is true of all features and functions, but it is tied to a real world
example discussed in COLA... not an example specifically selected to put
Ubuntu in a bad light).

I stick with what I have said on the topic and the evidence I have shown
you.  I also note you have no counter.
