  • I hope you follow this up with the next release of Ubuntu. Would be great to hear your opinion on how things has evolved since then :)

  • Unity feels so rushed. Makes me wonder about the development of the rest of Ubuntu. Wonder how rushed that is.

    Thanks for the video

  • Excellent video btw. I think I might switch back to Ubuntu when Oneiric Ocelot is released, so I can dual boot Gnome Shell and Unity.

  • @whatistubeable

    I'd say the one major difference is that it's GNU Linux. And Linux is just better, lol.

    I haven't used Windows 7(on my PC, anyway), but compared to Vista Linux runs better in every way, except for Flash videos on some websites.

  • Even it is like windows (I don't think it is myself)... It has one major difference: it is free:)

  • I'm using Ubuntu Classic desktop (Gnome 2.23.1). Unity feels very incomplete, buggy and lack of usability.

  • I don't think that integrating the window title and the menu bar is a problem. Just by looking at the maximized app running underneath, you know what it is... The OS doesn't need to tell you its name. In fact, I believe Win7 doesn't even show window titles anymore.

    Additionally, if you have Klondike focused, and it said "Mines" at the top-most bar, it would be VERY confusing if I hovered and got Klondike's menu items, instead of Mines's!

    I agree with almost all other points.

  • excellent review. elementary, here i come

  • Do you file bug reports for these things? Or Ubuntu Brainstorm ideas?

    Links to those would be great addition to your video notes.

  • What a horrible, horrible UI. Especially the dock (how that's better than an organized, heirarchical menu of programs with actual names rather than just icons you have to hover over one by one for the tooltips is beyond me) and hiding the applications' menus and putting them on the status bar instead of staying visible and on the application's window where they belong, among many other things (lack of visible scrollbars and the status bar at the top being the most annoying).
