From the get-go, the company behind the popular Linux distribution Ubuntu - Canonical - has backed Ubuntu with Mark Shuttleworth's money. 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.

They are saying give your money to a company that is actually contributing to the software you use - Ubuntu doesn't contribute any code upstream, they just package everyone elses code, and somehow get praised for this. Most are just getting sick of that - its been 4 years, and they still haven't done much for Linux itself.
It is not hatred, it is stating facts...

It's not Ubuntu hate, we are finally getting some Ubuntu realism after all the fanboy hype and the brown stuff is finally starting to hit the fan.
Canonical simply doesn't contribute to a wide cross-section of open source software as a lot of other companies and organisations do, and without that I'm not entirely sure how any services that they sell can be taken seriously. You pay for expertise with a service contract.
