I would say that it isn't a bad thing. It's actually a quite clever marketing trick to get the product name (in this case Ubuntu) into users/customers minds. Next time you start a computer running a Microsoft(tm)-made OS, you should count how many times "Microsoft"(tm) appears;-) Quite fun actually.
