I think Ubuntu has a hard time in that it's success or failure as an OS is always gauged by it's ability to run or mimic Windows programs while Windows and Mac are taken at face value and not required to be compatible with anyone. Could you imagine how badly Windows would fair if it's merit was weighted on it's ability to run GIMP on dual screen, how well Linux apps in general recompiled, or how well it tethered to non-Windows devices.
