| Shuttleworth does not think that the people at Google are immune to 
| that element of human nature, and that they may just abuse their 
| tremendous market power.

| He says using open source gives Google a competitive advantage,
| since its engineers can customise the software as they see fit,
| for example by creating the Goobuntu flavour of the Ubuntu Linux
| distribution. This makes their applications run more
| efficiently.

| "Good friendly distributions with good friendly community members"
| is the way to convince consumers to choose Linux over Windows for
| their desktops," he says. "It's legitimate for people to be
| suspicious of free things. I think it scares people away
| sometimes."
