LONDON, May 23, 2007 – Ubuntu 7.04, commercially sponsored by
Canonical Ltd., was honored by PC World with a 100 Best Products of
2007 Award. The article is available now on PCWorld.com, and will also
be featured in the July 2007 issue of PC World, which hits newsstands
June 12.

Ubuntu is the award-winning Linux distribution for the desktop,
laptop, thin client and server which brings together the best of open
source software every 6 months. Version 7.04 launched in April as a
secure, feature-rich alternative to Microsoft Windows. Recently,
Canonical has announced partnerships with leading technology companies
including Dell, VMware and Zimbra to expand the distribution’s reach.

The respected 100 Best Products Awards honor products that meld
practical features with innovation and reflect the rapidly changing
technology marketplace. To select the winners, PC World’s editors
examined hundreds of products, including those that have appeared in
the magazine over the past 12 months. The 100 winning products and
services were selected for their exemplary design and usability,
features, performance, and innovation.

“Products that win PC World’s 100 Best Products of 2007 Awards set the
standard for excellence in the IT and consumer electronics
industries,” stated Harry McCracken, vice-president/editor in chief of
PC World. “From notebooks and security software to MP3 players and
smartphones, the editors reward the most outstanding performers in
this annual awards program. Congratulations to Ubuntu 7.04.”

“Our goal is to make free software widely available to users and
businesses in a commercially sustainable manner. To be ranked 16th by
a leading consumer IT publication such as PC World is a strong
endorsement of that approach,” said Jane Silber, director of
Operations, Canonical Ltd. “We hope that our position as the top open
source project on PC World’s list will encourage even more people to
try Ubuntu and perhaps explore the broad range of other open source
technologies that are available.”
