Recently Microsoft Azure started supporting ubuntu and Mark shuttleworth praised microsoft, does Mark shuttleworth stand has shifted towards capitalism and forgot how often microsofts threatens GNU/Linux with patents.
I'm sorry to tell you that your question is at best confuse. You mix Capitalism, Microsoft Azure and patents in the same phrase while questioning the "ways" of Ubuntu - this makes no sense.
1. If Ubuntu runs on an MS platform more power to Linux, this means even MS recognize the strength of Linux.
2. Capitalism - from where you think the money for developing Ubuntu and Linux in general are coming ? Do you really think Linux is developed by people in their free time ? Sorry to break it to you but today's most Linux development is made by people hired by private companies.
3. Mark Shuttleworth is a businessman, don't confuse him with a member of FSF.
