Fortunately, most of my kit is incapable of running the lens, nor the graphics-heavy Unity desktop - or even Gnome 3. Let's hear it for Xfce, Lxde, and such - not to mention all the other distros still out there, including some fine Ubuntu-based ones which manage to avoid the Shuttleworth-benevolent-dictator thing.

I admire the man, and respect most of what he's done for open-source (it might actually come as a little bit of a shock, but I also respect Bill Gates and co for their role in bringing practical computing to the masses.)

What on earth happens to them when they become successful?
