He is quoted in the article as saying the reason for this is that he does "not want to position Ubuntu and Linux as a cheap alternative to Windows." While Linux is an alternative to Windows, it is not cheap Windows, he says, adding that Linux has its own strengths, and users should want it because of those strengths and not because it's a cheap copy of Windows."
