Shuttleworth on Ubuntu profitability

Ubuntu 8.10 due Thursday. Profits? Not so fast | Latest Business Tech News – CNET News

I don’t think it will possible to make a lot of money, or maybe any money, selling the desktop,” Shuttleworth said. “We’re not going to try to make money selling the desktop. We force ourselves to look to services-oriented business models. I remain confident this is the right business model for the industry. Linux is the forcing function that (means) the broader software industry will shift in business models away from licensing the bits and to services.
