The big question has always been if Canonical is actually making any money. We have a rather clear and definitive answer to that one now.

as shuttleworth said they'll be focusing on services.

What sevices?

i imagine that's exactly what ubuntu will be. free while you pay for support costs. business will pay for support where users won't.

In the Linux world, Red Hat owns that market. Even Novell isn't managing to make much of a dent in it. Ubuntu need something different to make any waves, and they're not going to do it with what they're using.
