Downloaded Ubuntu rather than Xubuntu, by mistake. Installed it anyway. Who thought Unity was a good idea?

I got the idea it was geared toward a touch interface. It didn't seem very intuitive for a mouse driven interface. It also sort of reminds me of a gnome/droid mashup for some reason. I just went back to 10.04 again... I had no need for new eye candy.

I could see it making sense on a tiny screen, but on a 26" 1920x1200 it was kinda like using the Mac with multiple monitors. I mean, the menu bar made sense back in the days of 320x240, but in 2011?

My phone is 854x480 and a touch screen. Could be pretty nice in an application like that.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
