I can't follow you to Canonical with this example, because of the
multiplicity of environments available to Ubuntu. You don't _have_ to
take Unity, afaict. I avoid Ubuntu like AIDS, but it is largely made
of free software. You can change it, you can remove the non-free bits
and call it gNewSense.

You can't do those things with Microsoft or Apple.
