This is someone who has never used Wine, but feels compelled to comment on how
it's slow and unstable. Wonderfully uninteresting.

The article he's discussing is more interesting, and much more on-topic for
Shuttleworth's comments.

Basically, what Shuttleworth is saying is that running Windows apps (whether
via Wine or via porting) is unimportant to Ubuntu (or the opensource world in
general), but that developing solid, unixy-but-friendly alternatives is
essential.
