When Canonical first came about I did wonder if it was just a great humanitarian effort by a multi-millionaire or just the beginnings of another business. The last 5 years or so have proven that it is merely a wedge into another business to get customers hooked on their services. They are more interested in pushing closed software on the platform that improving the freedoms that the users want. It did always bother me when occasionally you see in the offices and half of their machines are running Windows. :S

It is a shame really since I have spoken to a few people that are employed there and they do tend to have good heart in terms of freedom but it usually never really makes it to the end releases.
