…right, by stepping down, and still being in control of almost everything, he’ll be able to focus on more important tasks, and get more involved…OK ;D

Shuttleworth also added that while its work with Google on the Chrome OS isn't Canonical's main direction, they're looking forward to doing more work on Chrome OS. He added that Ubuntu is looking forward to gaining more of the desktop market with its own Ubuntu offering "right under Windows 7's nose."
