The 2007 road map for the Ubuntu Linux operating system includes continuing its focus on the desktop, paying more attention to the server and garnering additional corporate support. Speaking at Ubuntu user conference UbuCon here at Google's New York complex on Feb. 16, Steve George, director of support and services at Canonical, said, "The view from the Ubuntu side is that Microsoft has too much of the market. We're going to continue rolling out and making Ubuntu easy to use on the desktop and we'll add increased focus on the server this year." If they succeed, corporate users will be less dependant on Microsoft product but rather more to an open source software, Linux. Microsoft may not like it but it is an open option for corporate users and it will be a good way to safe cost since Linux comes for free. Calculating how much is needed to obtain a license will be a thing of the past.
