<i>Recently Microsoft Azure started supporting ubuntu and Mark shuttleworth praised microsoft, does Mark shuttleworth stand has shifted towards capitalism and forgot how often microsofts threatens GNU/Linux with patents.</i><p>I'm sorry to tell you that your question is at best confuse. You mix Capitalism, Microsoft Azure and patents in the same phrase while questioning the "ways" of Ubuntu - this makes no sense.<p>1. If Ubuntu runs on an MS platform more power to Linux, this means even MS recognize the strength of Linux.<p>2. Capitalism - from where you think the money for developing Ubuntu and Linux in general are coming ? Do you really think Linux is developed by people in their free time ? Sorry to break it to you but today's most Linux development is made by people hired by private companies.<p>3. Mark Shuttleworth is a businessman, don't confuse him with a member of FSF.
Shuttleworth founded Thawte in 1995 and then sold it to VeriSign in December 1999, earning about US$ 575 million. Does this sound like a man whose stance needs to "shift towards capitalism"?
