I really do hope this pans out so long as ubuntu stays free and for the most part[1] open I'll support what they are doing for linux and operating systems. [1]: So long as the base for ubuntu is free and open I'm happy and if they create software that costs money but it is not required to have a non-hindered user experience I'll consider them open edit: I really hope that the orange starts getting toned down

Commercial software for Ubuntu could really help its adoption. Currently commercial software is pretty much limited to things like Maple.

  Agreed, but the thing is it really is going to have to be good software. In example it would take a very good software package to move ubuntu users from openoffice to another alternative. But there are some places where ubuntu is somewhat lacking that might not need amazing software: something like itunes with a store and device support etcetera but I can't really think of more examples.

    E.g. Dreamweaver, Photoshop, games. The same thing that Windows people pay for, really.
