World of Warcraft is not designed to be run on Linux, so I don't see how Linux is at fault here really. The majority of desktop applications that are designed for Linux do not require any configuration at all in order to get them to run, just like on Windows.
I'm also not positive on your assumption on what type Ubuntu developers are aiming for. Can you please provide me with data that they said this? Meanwhile, please take a look at the following blueprints and the use case scenario in them: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/3GNetworkingIntrepid https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/Intrepid/GuestAccount https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SlickBoot https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeByDefault https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ForumIntegration https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded/Chat And for some of the already implemented blueprints: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkRoaming https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EasyCodecInstallation https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GnomeAppInstallCodecs https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallerForWindows https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/HardyDesktopEffects https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hardware/Detection?action=show&redirect=HardwareDetection ... and many more blueprints are openly available here: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu I believe you're going off your assumptions here, without having seen and understood all of the work that is currently going on. Ubuntu mailing lists are available here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/, feel free to sign up for the relevant ones, and then you'll start to get an idea of what is being done in Ubuntu. -- Microsoft has a majority market share https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
