So you used the wubi installer? If you did then you can uninstall Ubuntu via the usual way you uninstall software in Windows.

Well Ubuntu uses a rather conservative setting in that regard. It's a balancing act really. You can set 1000hz in the kernel and enable preemptive desktop.

From what I can see, Ubuntu enables...

It's one of the most usable themes out there and it's default for that reason.I even find usability issues with the current Ubuntu default theme and themes like elementary will never be default...

Steve Jobs is many things but not an idiot. In the end he is talking about the Mac, not PCs.

PC manufacturers will probably have a different view.

I'm sure he doesn't care less. He'll care if New York Times bash him though, since he sucks up to them.

Yes, though it's nothing on the scale of Amazon and you seem to have to wait longer for new releases. I've brought tracks using Ubuntu One and it's a good idea.

Just a few things:

Fedora is a pure FOSS distro and third party repos provide proprietary drivers and software(see rpmfusion).

Yes Fedora is more bleeding edge than Ubuntu/Debian, since they...

That's OK Steve. We PC users see it taking off, so you just stick to your Mac and catch up soon.

Just incase you like GNOME Shell and deviantART.

Released! :)

Like what? Seems accurate to me.

Canonical support Kubuntu. Ubuntu has nothing to do with it other that you can install KDE if you wish.

Well, to be honest, the "Linux for human beings" is just a marketing line and Canonical hasn't yet brought Linux to the masses.

Until we see proper market share figures to prove that, Ubuntu...

Part of the reason is that the GNOME devs just don't have the manpower to do both ways. Canonical could just write an Xrender fallback for Mutter and be done with it, instead of what looks like a...

That's doesn't make much sense. He says Mutter needs 3D support but yet so does Compiz. The only way Unity will drop back is back to metacity.

Unity's dock requires compositing like most docks...

Goodbye Silverlight, nice not knowing you.

He must mean Unix.

Dropping people back to the old layout if no 3D is found is rather strange and hacky.

Rather than sticking with one desktop, you have two different ones for 2D and 3D. It should be all or...

You mean 3D since any system in the last 6+ years can support compositing, even my wife's old IBM Think pad can. What could happen in that you can drop back to software compositing like Xrender,...

It can but you cannot expect developers to maintain a legacy version for a long time after, it's just too much work.

If someone wants to, do it.

Canonical like to chop and change defaults at their leisure. They don't seem to be concentrating on making defaults stable. The have no hope in the OEM market working like this.

It probably gets...

Cannot find the nautilus ones but most of the mockups are here. I've seen mockups in the irc. The new designs are looking great.

You're seriously mistaken to say GNOME Shell is vapourware. CSS and javascript are far from it and web technology is where things are heading.

Like any older version of software it becomes legacy and GNOME 2 will be supported for some time after, but yes it will become obsolete.

GNOME Shell devs are smart, using CSS and javascript for...

Well thanks but just an artist. :)
