"One of the benefits of the direction that's been taken with the next release of Ubuntu is that there is no longer a need for a separate netbook edition. The introduction of the new shell for Ubuntu means that we have a user interface that works equally well whatever the form factor of the PC. And the underlying technology works on a range of architectures including those common in netbook, notebooks, desktops or whatever you choose to run it on. Hence the need for a separate version for netbooks is removed"

Unity is awful. This is the most unproductive UI on linux. But because the standard gnome environment also available on netbook editation, this is not too big problem for me. But IMHO the Unity based ubuntu is not a too good idea.
