    Apparently, as of 12.10, Ubuntu will be shipping with built-in ad services, claiming it will provide useful services for users.

    My personal opinion is that there is no way, no how, I will EVER recommend, advise, infer or otherwise suggest that anyone should use this distribution.

      It must be part of the tablet mentality they're adopting. Tablets are considered "content consumption devices", and Amazon sells a lot of that in the form of movies, music, books etc.

      Unity killed Ubuntu for me (loyal user from 5.10 to 12.04), this just adds another dimension to the odour.
