Merged two threads on the same subject.
As nlsthzn suggested it's already been decided: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/10/u...fault-desktop/
The transformation is now complete. The personal computer has been transformed into an appliance. Gnome and KDE were headed there anyway so why not just leapfrog them both.
What Jono says is true, but Unity will still be a competitor to GNOME Shell, even though it relies on the GNOME stack. Hopefully both teams can push each other to create even better products.
Yep, looks like it. Unity for 11.04 Desktop Edition, people! Could a mod please rename the thread?
I don't think it will really transform the desktop version much, since I fully expect it to be a very customized version of Unity, possibly with only the Launcher and top panel, keeping the GNOME desktop with shortcuts and everything.
Also, if it isn't themeable, I'll be disappointed.
BTW, it looks like most people overlooked some good news:
It will be based on COMPIZ, and thus fully compatible with the existing plugins, keeping it alive despite GNOME Shell's efforts to kill it offOriginally Posted by Jono Bacon

WHEE! So it's been decided! Can't wait to try it!
I was under the impression you had?
Still had a LONG way to go...

This could be a brilliant idea assuming that the Unity released with 11.04 is better than the version released in 10.10. The 10.10 version is buggy and very very slow.
