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).

Shuttleworth have finally have come to the terms with linux desktop being a dead horse and focused his efforts where still some money could be (tablet, netbook, server).
That's was surely a though but a necessary decision.
If every distro around had its pet desktop customization that it develops and focuses on while also investing hard in integration and standards the linux would be much further than it is now.
