For some people choice = breaking the OS. And then, who is to blame? Not them, but Ubuntu.
Six months ago there were two ways to make changes to the OS. The command line and the menu system. Even then you could access some dialog boxes from an icon as well as a menu list.
Now, we have three ways of working. We now have the Dash and the Launcher. I foresee that at some point this excess of choice in the ways of making changes will be altered.
Some people will be very happy with a device that has the OS pre-installed even though they can only change the look of the user interface and not much else. The only updates will be vital security fixes. They will be very happy with their purchase because they cannot break it unless they drop it and it gets run over by a bus. This kind of device will be like the mobile phone and may be just as successful.
And I might buy one of those gadgets.
Regards.
