If it's making Canonical some money, that's great. It is easy enough to change the defaults to whatever you want after you install. It's a shame they couldn't cut a deal with a search engine that's actually useful, like Bing, though.
- gecko 17y agoYahoo has already agreed to use Bing to power their search, so while I don't know whether that has already been implemented, you'll soon indirectly get your wish that they'll support Bing. The reason I find this unfortunate is that I'm still boycotting Yahoo over their treatment of Chinese political activists; a FOSS operating system using Yahoo as a search is something I therefore find highly odd.
- seldo 17y agoWell, it's a rev share, so it won't make them any money if you switch back to Google.
- whyenot 17y agoYes, and that's why it's a shame. I realize my message above was a little too cheeky and deserves the downvotes, but it's a legitimate concern. I want Canonical to have a firm financial footing, and I don't think this will help much.
- hristov 17y agohahahaha ... good one.
