Ubuntu's Shuttleworth praises Windows 7, welcomes fight

Contributed by: sde

Mark Shuttleworth is looking forward to a good, clean netbook fight with Microsoft following the release of Windows 7.

Speaking with The Reg, the founder of popular Linux distro Ubuntu and chief executive of Canonical called Windows 7 a great operating system.

Great? Doesn't Shuttleworth work for the competition? Shouldn't he be building up Windows 7's hidden weaknesses?
