"Ubuntu is beautiful. This is an important aspect to bring people to Linux. When a desktop is ugly, there is no way to sell it to your (non-geek) friends."

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and with Ubuntu, it's a double edged sward. To me, Ubuntu looks like someone vomited all over the desktop. Not everyone likes pumpkin orange mixed with brown as a default color scheme. It's truly hideous (in MY opinion.) When I used Ubuntu, I would immediately change everything over to shades of blue following installation. Fortunately, the 'Blubuntu' meta package makes this easier.

I don't understand why every alpha release of the next Ubuntu makes headlines like the second coming of Christ. It's unfinished software. While having loads of bug hunters makes for a better final product, I highly doubt most people are dutifully filing bug reports (at least if one goes by the numbers.)
