"they should have started this as a parallel option"

EXACTY !!!

Business hates being a beta tester (and Ubuntu just loses in the end as TRUST is
then LOST).

LXDE should be their main business desktop, as it does what it needs to do, not
more, not less, lauches apps that are needed. Light weight. Fast. Can use
many older PCs that are just fine as average business application does not need
more than basic Pentium Processor of 10 years ago (worked then, would work
now).

Quite Wrong... Ubuntu version of LIBREOFFICE - Wizard for database sync with
email client (where you click FILE > Wizards (after installing BASE), and
select database, can not use Thunderbird, or other contact list, as a data
source.

Still does not work after being listed as a "bug" for years.

So, instead of FIXING what a business can use,

they play with the GUI.

BUSINESS could care less what GUI it is, as long as it is SIMPLE, works and they
don't ever have to retrain the entire company's staff on a new one... NOT EVER.
I know of folks that still run on DOS systems, and the staff is trained on this,
loves it, and with the warehouse folks already working with it and know it like
the back of their hands, why change. THIS business employee FACT is something
that programmers and Ubuntu are clueless about.
Yep - they do know GUI, and they do know they get bored tweaking the same one,
so they gotta change it. It Ubuntu folks want to be "in business
world" they need to learn what is happening out in the average business
first.
