Hot on the heels of the announcement from Steve Ballmer at Microsoft that they would try to mimic Apple's end-to-end user experience, Ubuntu Linux founder Mark Shuttleworth reportedly urged the development of a Linux desktop to rival what Apple Inc. has done. Shuttleworth is quoted as telling attendees at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention (Oscon) "Can we go right past Apple in the user experience we deliver? Certainly, on the desktop experience, we need to shoot beyond the Mac, but I think it's equally relevant [in] the mobile space. The challenge for us is to figure out how to deliver something which is crisp and clean" without sacrificing the community process.
