Ubuntu

Plan to fix bug #1 by taking advantage of the 64-bit desktop transition

Registered by Wes Morgan

As outlined in the World Domination 201 essay (url: http://catb.org/~esr/writings/world-domination/world-domination-201.html), Linux currently has a unique opportunity to make serious inroads on the desktop. This is because, by the end of 2008, the world will have transitioned to 64-bit desktops (due to a demand for >4GB of memory, among other things). This specification is meant as a central coordinating place for what Ubuntu needs to do to take advantage of this and fix bug #1 by the end of 2008!

Whiteboard

This spec probably needs official blessing from SABDFL before serious work can begin, as it requires some decisions be made on Canonical's part (i.e. that they think this is a good strategy and worth pursuing).
