I get that they have to make money somehow, but I can't help but feel that
they should be focusing on polish, bug fixes, and regression management
instead of piling on more features like this. I'd be a lot happier if they
were adding these features _after_ fixing things like broken Compiz quirks or
Unity commandeering the super key and breaking your personalized keyboard
shortcuts.

Hell, I'd even pay cash money for Ubuntu if they could guarantee regression-
free updates and a truly solid desktop (i.e., no "oh yeah it works just fine,
_except_ for this long list of annoying problems"). But their priorities seem
to be elsewhere. Blame can certainly be assigned outside Canonical but the
buck has to stop somewhere.

Personally I think this cheapens the desktop quite a bit. I'm already
advertised at for 90% of my day, now I get to be advertised at in my one
sanctuary, my desktop.

I would be willing to shell out top dollar for a UNIX OS that's as stable as
OSX and "just works" the way OSX does but is also as customizable and hacker-
friendly as Linux, even if it's closed source. I've been wondering if there's
any room for a company in this space—its obviously a very niche market, so
you'd have to charge a lot, but I (and maybe other nerds?) would certainly be
willing to pay.

There is definitely room for such a company, and the market is not as niche as
you'd imagine. If you could provide an environment as user friendly as OS X
with top-notch security
irement planners " or " advisors " (e.g., Edward Jones' 
 franchises) do not advertise a fiduciary duty. 

 As a consumer, you may get to yield more up front to find a fiduciary - duty 
 adviser, but that is money well spent and cursorily pays for itself.
