Canonical is trying to get more users on its side before the Windows 8 release

Canonical is making a push with Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) and they are not pulling any punches, especially when it comes to promoting the operating system.

Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) was launched today, October 18th, and, as usual, people flocked to Canonical official website to download the latest version.

The new motto of Ubuntu 12.10 has made quite an impression with most of the community. The website boldly states “Avoid the pain of Windows 8. The all-new Ubuntu 12.10 is out now.”

It may not seem like much, but the direct attack on the upcoming Windows 8, scheduled to be launched on October 26th, is something that hasn’t been seen so far, at least not on official channels.

Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) comes with an enhanced Unity, Linux kernel 3.5, GNOME 3.6, web apps, and many more features.
