[Tfug] Ubuntu Bug #1

[Rich]

I think you read it the wrong way Claude :-)

First, it's a joke. Second, it's saying that the problem isn't that  
"some other company has majority market share and we want it", it's  
saying "there is a company that has a majority market share, and we  
want there to be consumer choice".
