As a Windows and Ubuntu user I would find it offensive in a face to face talk.

Your statement is an overgeneralization to say the least.

Well here's a question for you:

1) Does Canonical operate a usability lab?

2) Would Ubuntu developers pay any attention if it did?

(1) Novell (the guys with more money) do.

(1a) I care about usability a _lot_ and I don't have a lab. A simple pc in a room is quite adequate for most studies. (For some of them you don't even need a pc)
