Linux has always been a Windows/Mac wannabe, especially Ubuntu. Otherwise the majority of its users wouldn't spend so much of their time trying to convert users of the other platforms and trying to provide everything MS and Apple do.Do they want to be exactly like Win/Mac? No, but they do want their users and the distro creators realize that the majority of user converts are going to take what comes as default, the same as they do on Mac/Win, add what few items they need that aren't there and never give it another thought.
