#5Are you willing to pay one dollar every time you open up a web browser in Ubuntu?
Or even one dollar a day?
Look into what advertisers are paying, I'm betting you're not willing to match their price.

#6Suppose searching shops from the search bar makes sense: what would be a way to launch it that wouldn't freak out a lot of people?

#9Won't happen; by definition. See http://www.ubuntu.com/project "Ubuntu is free. Always has been and always will be." Therefore, would be much better to stop writing link bait posts, but rather go and donate http://www.ubuntu.com/community/get-involved/donate

#10This seems like a really bad idea to me. You can't charge for something that the user can just build themselves for free. Someone else is just going to distribute the binaries. And so what do you do about your repos, are those just for paying customers as well? You wind up with 2 Ubuntus in this scenario, both weaker than the 1 today.
