<p>&#8220;Upgrading&#8221; from Ubuntu to Windows XP? That is not what I&#8217;d call an upgrade. This puts Ubuntu in a really bad light if read by people who don&#8217;t know better. This sort of false advertising and misleading the public with opinion rather than fact is pretty bad in this case. I&#8217;ll meet you half way on this and won&#8217;t say that Ubuntu is an upgrade from Windows (since my personal opinion doesn&#8217;t matter here). It&#8217;d be more honest if you suggested that Windows is an alternative to Ubuntu, rather than an upgrade.</p>
