It's April, 2008, and it has only been six months since the last desktop OS release from Ubunto. Canonical, makers of Ubunto, harkens back to the WAY old days of Microsoft when the company was both micro and soft and the Big Bad Bear was IBM. Whether you think desktop Linux is the great escape from Windows/Macs or you think it is a joke not ready for the enterprise, you have to at least appreciate the humor and delight Canonical takes in its software. Ubuntu 8.04 was code named Hardy Heron, and it follows the Feisty Fawn and Gutsy Gibbon releases of 2007.
It is attempting to make Linux as friendly to the not-so-technical user as Windows or Mac OS X has been.
