Ubuntu is now worried about profits

[Manish Sinha]

I am not saying anything about corporate setup.

The point i was trying to ake is that simplicity is pretty important.
The ease of install, ease of use is one of the reasons why windows
beca,e famous inspite of instability and security issues.

If ubuntu isnt fit for corporate markets, then SLES or RHEL is
probably the way to go.

Probably this is the reason why red hat seperated it's enterprise and
desktop offerings.

P.s. Sorry for any typos. Am typing this from my phone.
