I concur that using Ubuntu for the screenshots, however I find it very
curios that 87% of downloads are Windows Server users (or does 2012
encapsulate Win8 also?). To put everyone at ease I looked up the legalese
from Microsoft, and according to them, we can use their screenshots as long
as we conform to their rules. The sticky one is number 4, and it is not
well defined...back to Ubuntu?
