Well, this is sure to raise a few eyebrows here and there. Today, at the Ubuntu Developer Summit, Mark Shuttleworth held his keynote speech, and in it, he announced that Ubuntu will switch to the Unity user interface come release, for both the netbook as well as the desktop, leaving the GNOME user interface behind (but keeping the GNOME platform).

Every corporation lies. They all say neat stuff like "we take care of our customers" and "we are ever so nice". They all lie and take guesses at what people will accept. As said: people want freedom _FROM_ choice. I believe Apple's lock-in is actually a feature for the majority.
However, I am glad someone is trying something new. Worst case? It fails and people forget about Ubuntu. It's not like Ubuntu is the end of everything, without it we die. I mean, there are several distros out there, which all try to do their stuff and hope it succeeds.
Kinda nice not depending on one corp for all things Linux, huh?
Chill out, sit back and enjoy the show. Me, I hope they succeed. It would be nice to see something like this take off.
