Which is a bit like eating your own tail. But that is how open source works. So long as Canonical do well then Ubuntu should soldier on.

Second, your point is well stated. Ultimately, The VAR Guy does think Moblin is a threat to Ubuntu because he who controls the user interface controls the brand. @Undacuvabrutha: First, great name (and great movie).

Thus, saying it's a "threat" to Ubuntu on the Netbook is not correct, however it could possibly be interpreted as a threat to the Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR) product itself.

It will be a nice, high-end niche offering. Why invest more in Unix if the growth markets are Linux and Windows Server? Oracle would be wise to help accelerate the move from Solaris to Linux/Windows -- in order to maintain control of the database and application layers. @ABC: Reader comments are welcome but please watch the language.
