Why Ubuntu’s creator still invests his fortune in an unprofitable company (ars
technica)
Ars technica has posted a
lengthy look at the business side of Canonical. "What may
surprise some people is that Canonical could be profitable today if
Shuttleworth was willing to give up his dream of revolutionizing end user
computing and focus solely on business customers. Most people who know
Ubuntu are familiar with it because of the free desktop operating system,
but Canonical also has a respectable business delivering server software
and the OpenStack cloud infrastructure platform to data
centers. Canonical's clearest path to profitability would be dumping the
desktop and mobile businesses altogether and focusing on the data center
alone."
