Many Ubuntu users need to use Windows for various reasons, and U1 is there to help them manage their files on both Windows and Ubuntu. U1 is there to sync files between different platforms, doesn't make sense to exclude Windows and drive away users due to the exclusivity. | |

| Oct 15, 2010 at 23:25 | comment | added | JanC | AskUbuntu is not run by Canonical or the Ubuntu project, it's run by Stack Overflow Inc. And the fact that a bunch of "windows-users" wants to run a site to help Ubuntu does help bug #1, right? Once they see how good and helpful we are they will switch over and start porting stuff to Mono. Or Vala... ;) | |
| Oct 13, 2010 at 19:11 | comment | added | Oscar Godson | This does seem extremely hypocritical. While I understand the whole dog food / religious crap, this is just... stupid. Ubuntu HAS server software, why are they not using it? Do they not support it? And yes, they make software for Windows, but they make FOR Windows users. They are directly supporting M$ by doing this. This just defeats the entire purpose of creating Ubuntu. It's about freedom and open-source, and Ubuntu can't even seem to stand by it on a side project, AskUbuntu? | |

| Oct 13, 2010 at 18:02 | comment | added | Stefan Lasiewski | I guess the answer to that question depends on your definition of "we". I think we know why the StackOverflow/StackExchange community chose this platform, although I'm not clear what Canonical's opinion is. | |
| Oct 13, 2010 at 11:22 | comment | added | unomi | Ubuntu would have never existed if it weren't for those 'religious attitudes' you seem to disdain so much. The question isn't really why the SE devs choose their platform, its more why we are choosing the SE platform over OSQA or Shapado. | |
| Oct 12, 2010 at 20:49 | comment | added | Stefan Lasiewski | Well, on second thought "eating your own dogfood" is a bit of a religious issue, and is sometimes at odds with "Use the right tool for a job". When you only eat your own dogfood, everything starts to look like a meal. | |
| Oct 12, 2010 at 18:00 | comment | added | Stefan Lasiewski | @broam : Good point. I guess I just like a variety of different kinds of dogfood. | |
| Oct 12, 2010 at 17:26 | comment | added | Broam | This isn't really a "religious" issue - it's a dogfood issue (to use the Microsoft parlance). | |
