I know it's difficult when change comes unsolicited to the door. We have
a lot of that - figuring out how to deal with changes from, say,
Mozilla. And it's tough. Nevertheless, for the parts we've chosen to
lead, we chose to lead them because we think they are going to change
the MOST in the next few years, as different form factors converge.

We saw that early. We've designed for it, and we'll deliver stuff we
think represents the future, before everyone else, if we can. As to
whether it works, let's do an experiment. Run 12.04 for a while, then
boot 10.04 off a USB stick and see which you prefer. I bet it will be
12.04, on balance.
