[Wylug-discuss] Ubuntu and Unity Desktop ... anyone like it?

[Tim Schofield]

I always assumed that the reason for Unity was that Mark Shuttleworth
was trying to get into the touch screen device market. It starts to
make more sense in that environment. Desktops and laptops are not
profitable to Canonical, whereas Ubuntu pre-installed on a tablet
device would be.
