[Cialug] Canonical - Yahoo deal; thoughts?

[Matt Carter]

It just raises too many questions.. why would Canonical want any
Bing-tainted money? What did Bing get in return?

You could start at the basic superstition level and just assume its a
money deal.

Or you could go to the extreme and say Canonical is now in bed with
Microsoft and sold its soul for the right price, allowing vital info to
be gathered from its users and given to M$ to begin the Linux
extermination.

It just doesn't have a good taste, that's all.

Is it really that big a deal?
