"Mark Shuttleworth has flown into space on a Soyuz TM-34 and founded Thawte Consulting that later sold to Verisign for over USD 500 million, but he is now known most for being the founder and leader of the Ubuntu Linux distribution. In addition to Ubuntu he also established HBD Venture Capital and is involved with several other free software projects. Earlier today we had spoke with Mark Shuttleworth to discuss the latest happenings in the Ubuntu world including Dell shipping Ubuntu PCs, getting open-source drivers from hardware vendors, and what is coming down the road for Ubuntu 7.10."

Did I say anything for a freaking shareholder company? I said something about actors and painters though.
As long as Mark (or ANYONE else) does not serve a publicly traded company (Canonical is not one AFAIK), let him follow his bliss indeed. Let him use his money the way he wants to. If DELL shareholders have a problem with it, let them go with Red Hat or Novell instead.
So, Adam, please don't try get to my nerves. Read my comment more carefully, and the way the reply was made. It was a reply to explain a philosophical idea about life, not to delve into today's capitalistic values.
