United Linux will pay the price for ubiquity, assuming that United Linux gains the widest distribution - a huge assumption considering the realities of the Linux market. I select distros based on how well integrated their components are, and how aggressive the vendors are with security and QA issues - My problem with Microsoft is not that it is ubiquitous, but that I would not accuse Microsoft of being aggressive about resolving security and QA issues at this point. I am sticking with Suse Linux: United Linux is an unproven quantity, so far as I am concerned.
