So they are into offering Cloud Services. Now I use that as a general term because Canonical always has been and I suspect always will be a Butterfly when it comes to the latest Buzz Word Service. The thing that's always in the back of my mind is:

1. It used to be, every new release the download servers would fall over.

2 . Ubuntu One and the App store were shut down because they kept falling over.

With that track record, I'm not sure I'd want to trust my PaaS etc to them.

I think they're doing "OK" in that field but again, that OK is a tentative OK (I so love the English language, we can make a lot of single words have so many different meanings LOL)

I really don't think Canonical is doing that well if truth be told. Mark does a great job of bigging his company up but you've only got to look on companies house to see that the profits are really pathetic by comparison we're talking like £500K which is eyebrow-raising when the image is of this hugely successful company.
