Nice cons about Ubuntu 9.10

ZDNet told some interesting but real cons about Ubuntu 9.10 in the comparison with Windows 7. To install Ubuntu 9.10, you need to find the installer CD which is not available like Windows 7. You need to download the ISO of Ubuntu then burn it to CD then install. But for Windows 7, just buy it and install it. So getting Ubuntu installer CD is a problem for the normal user. To install Windows 7, one may need to buy a new PC with good hardware but in case of Ubuntu 9.10, all hardwares in the market don't work perfectly coz the manufacturers don't provide the driver of their products.Everybody knows the problem of codecs and the proprietary DRM for the media formats which is a little bit problem for the normal user.
