Ha ha Nice. course there isn't a lot of competition for that award

I an name maybe 6 User friendly focused distros that manage to pull it off

It's a strong candidate though (Well Duuuh it won)
The down side is they do make a lot of changes that are not "standard" Linux (for something that can run on your phone to the top 5 largest computers on earth standard is a bad word choice) but hopefully those changes will make their way into all the other distros. Good job Canonical!
