Verse 1: "Should auld programming be forgot and replaced with something new? Should auld programming be forgot, and install ubuntu?" Chorus: "Install ubuntu, my dear, install ubuntu, we'll tak some open source software, and install ubuntu" Verse 2: "And there's support, my trusty fiere! At no more cost to you! We'll give you help both day and night, when you install ubuntu." I would go on, but perhaps it's best if I stop there. Try singing that at the top of your lungs on New Year's eve!
