    Ubuntu Artwork Team Shows Promising Mockups for Next Release

    I've been keeping a keen eye on the progress of the Ubuntu Artwork team, and did an article based on what's going on with mockups.

    http://linux.com/community/blogs/ubu...t-release.html

    However, one of the complaints that I see come up in the community the most is the fact that although Ubuntu is now competing directly with Windows 7 and Mac OSX, it has lacked that extra visual spice to make Free Software all the more appealing to end users. However, some of the new mockups and goals are extremely promising.

    That boot animation looks awesome, really slick. And so are the new themes and backgrounds, I like how they've decided to have less screensavers and more backgrounds.

    That article said absolutely nothing. The boottest was user created as an idea; because the canonical people requested input. Oxygen icon theme just had a fresh release. Essentially this is just a link to the wiki and flickr group. Blogspam at its finest.

    I'd like to see one like test four but with the black background of test 3.

    Actually, the point of the article was depict exactly what was going on with the Artwork team, the Ayatana project, and their goals for the next release of Ubuntu. Will they appear in the next version? I hope so. Is it guaranteed? Perhaps not.

    Not only that, but this line especially had me scratching my head:
    Usplash is apparently being replaced with GRUB2.

    Whoever did that article clearly doesn't know much about what is going on.

    I swear these icons are animated.
