Same thing on Gnome Shell. You think that's a finished product? Heck no! I mean, I like it a lot, and was actually using it on a production system ages ago, but it still needs a *huge* amount of polish. I have no criticism of anyone who chooses either DE, but this Canonical rage seems a bit excessive to me. Canonical is a far cry from MS or Apple. Nobody is forcing your hand, here, except for the cold, robotic hand of advancing technology.
I recommended Karmic to my Mother. I have not been able to recommend anything since then to anyone. Okay for me, but if people pass it on, make sure to iron out the bugs before you release it. lucid and Maverick, and now Natty. How can anyone recommend Ubuntu now? and what an embarrasment to Linux. If Ubuntu continues in the same direction, then it would be best to dissasociate Ubuntu from Debian and Linux.
The code is free but the data is priceless.
