My feeling is the same as Richard's - it's a mixed blessing, and while it will probably bring more users to GNU/Linux, they'll come for the wrong reasons, and be less likely to use and support Free Software games.
Canonical is making Ubuntu more proprietary year by year. As they make little effort to educate users about Freedom, yet are increasingly pushing proprietary software over Free software, it could be merely a matter of time before the average Ubuntu user is as unaware of freedom as the average Windows user.
