Comment 6 for bug 57379

I also am curious: could any of the multiple solutions be
complimentary to each other? Like could more than one solution be
used? Rather than spending lots of time and effort reaching a
consensus on picking one solution, why not just go ahead with the
first and easiest one, and if a better solution comes later, maybe it
can also be used (if it is complimentary)?

More roads leading to Ubuntu is a good thing, IMHO, plus I also feel
Ubuntu needs to act fast to compete with Vista.

Right as you read this, many tens of millions of computer users are
wondering what they are going to do about their Windows 2000 boxen not
being officially supported by Microsoft anymore (now that Vista is
out, and Windows 2000 reaches its end-of-life), so now is the perfect
time for Ubuntu to swoop in with a super-easy alternative solution to
buying Vista, ie. an Ubuntu which is very, very easy to install
because a novice user needn't care what a BIOS is whatsoever, much
less configure it.

This feature alone could gain many millions of new Ubuntu users! Think about it.

Cheers,
Dustin.
