Seeing a very popular and powerful $5 OS next to $100 Windows cards at the store would be pretty compelling. I guess their advantage would still be that all you need is a code to install Windows on many machines while you need to boot into an external drive to install Ubuntu (and any other OS).

Wtf. Why would anyone willingly use that crap?

Ubuntu needs to change that. Hey Walmart, here’s a $1 thumbdrive you can sell for $5. 500% markup! It’s a can’t miss deal!
