Ubuntu 12.10 is out
Pretty much like any Linux distro, that Personally I would think that a simple Panel at the Bottom would work wonders in making Windows users feel at home.
Both Unity and Gnome 3 have managed to fubar that opportunity - But there is always LXDE and XFCE.
Now the greatest Linux commercial of all times is about to be launched; Windows 8! Once that is out, the mases will want to migrate to Linux in hordes. They should be offered a more "familiar" system.
The sad thing is they do not realize how fast that can be fixed - since Ubuntu is presenting that horrible Unity stuff...(Again: I realize that I am not the key target customer so Ubuntu are right about speaking to new users and not me, though)
And the Ubuntu guys are right;
It is pretty fantastic that you can get an OS where everything is free and works right out of the box - like Windows - only faster and better.
Manjaro 64bit on the main box -Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz and nVidia Corporation GT200b [GeForce GTX 275] (rev a1. + Centos on the server - Arch on the laptop.

I read somewhere that MS is going to rig the numbers of Win 8 by offering free Upgrade from 7 to 8 if you buy a Win 7 system now.
So whatever number they get from 8 can be previous sales of 7.
8 is make it or break it for MS.
I think they will make it but is not going to be spectacular.

Yeah you probably read it here:

Windows 8 i probably going to make it but I think MS is already working on something to replace it. Linux will probably not know how to exploit this great opportunity this time either - if it fails MS will probably have a new solution ready.
