We reported earlier on a blog post entitled "Ubuntu Report Card (2009)" where the author detailed how they felt the Ubuntu experience had improved over the years. In a follow-up series of articles looking at the future, Tanner Helland has written 10 different broadly-scoped feature requests that [he] 'and many others would like to see by the time Ubuntu 10.10 rolls around'.

The X protocol is used over IPC instead of a network, which is why it doesn't matter that they removed the network. That is what I wanted to say, and you know it, but ad-hominem attacks work better.
Of course I know that from third parties that write about X design. No(sane)body can possibly bear looking at X11 source for long periods of time. I did it once to debug a driver that was bothering me and won't do that again. Surely not to win an argument with you.
Anyways that I screwed up a term doesn't help with my apps going down when it dies because of the convenient bad-driver(TM) or getting lagged i/o or other marvelous side-effects of using X as opposed to some superior system like Windows 3.0 GDI.
Linux could do fine with even that and would do if it weren't that X gets all the drivers and support.
