I think this is a good thing. Especially by getting more people (or
corporations) aware of Linux.



That being said, I've used Windows and awful proprietary junk for years. I
like the idea of the FOSS philosophies. I'd like to start testing out
Gobuntu.

...And just so there is no confusion... I'd like to make it clear that I am
not totally against proprietary software. Just the bad ones, and ones made
exclusively for Microsoft. I think by introducing proprietary software to
the apt-get process it raises the the bar for proprietary developers. That
way (hopefully) they don't feel rushed, and can release software that has
been thoroughly worked on.
