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'.

What use is a network transparent design that doesn't get used?
Using it every day, I find this quite funny.
There are real issues with X, performance is one of the top complaints against it.
Which performance?
-Remote display performance? Agreed (It should really include NX style compression natively).
-Local display performance? I disagree: I find it good enough (the responsiveness issue I feel are caused by applications such as Firefox which have a poor design and are the same on Windows).
Using both Windows and Linux, I don't understand why you find performance of X such a big issue..
X itself is the least forward thinking part of Linux.
Given that it had network transparence far before the competition, I find this quite laughable.
As for the rest, yes, stripping the drivers out of X is a good idea, and more competition is always good.
I wish Wayland the best but don't forget that there are already many dead X competitors: Berlin/Fresco, Y, etc.
